Day case adjustable squint surgery requires patient cooperation. Using propofol anesthesia and a laryngeal mask improved patient alertness and reduced nausea, facilitating same-day discharge for adjustable suture squint surgery.

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Anesthesiology

Background:

  • Adjustable suture squint surgery is often limited by patient cooperation post-operatively.
  • Nausea is a common side effect that can hinder early suture adjustment.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of propofol anesthesia and laryngeal mask airway in facilitating early adjustment and day case management for adjustable suture squint surgery.

Main Methods:

  • 37 patients undergoing adjustable suture squint surgery received anesthesia with propofol and a laryngeal mask.
  • Nausea levels were recorded using a visual analogue scale (VAS) before and after suture adjustment.
  • Adjustment was performed approximately 4.9 hours post-surgery.

Main Results:

  • The mean VAS nausea score was 1.54 pre-adjustment and 1.73 post-adjustment.

  • Only one patient required post-operative anti-emetic medication.
  • All patients were alert enough for adjustment and discharged on the same day.

    • Conclusions:

    • Propofol induction and laryngeal mask airway use are effective in managing patients undergoing adjustable suture squint surgery.
    • This anesthetic approach facilitates early adjustment and supports successful day case management.
