Anesthesia and Analgesia
|September 1, 1989
Abstract:
Seventy-six patients undergoing general endotracheal anesthesia were studied prospectively to determine whether simply taping the eyelids closed during the surgical procedure as opposed to taping the lids after instilling a bland lubricating ointment had any different effect on corneal or conjunctival epithelium. No significant difference was found.
