Abstract: (2977 Views)
Background:
This study aimed to compare the effect of cold eye irrigation solution (BSS) and viscoelastic gel with their combination in room temperature on the dosage of sedative drugs which we use in Phacoemulsification cataract surgery.
Material and methods:
190 patients scheduled for cataract surgery under sedation were randomly divided into two equal groups. During surgery we used cold (4c) and warm (room temperature) BSS and viscoelastic gel in the first and second group respectively. For all patients we started sedation with Midazolam and Fentanyl and in case we needed additional drug we used Sodium Thiopental till we reached desired sedation level. Ramsay sedation scores (before, during and after surgery) and total sedative drug consumption were evaluated and compared between two groups and at the end of the surgery we checked the satisfaction score of patients and surgeon about the quality of sedation.
Results:
The average dosage of Midazolam wasn’t significantly different between the two groups, while the average dosage of Sodium Thiopental was significantly lower in Cold group. Also the average time of which we reached desired Ramsay sedation score and the level of Ramsay score were significantly different between the two groups.
Conclusion:
Using cold BSS and viscoelastic gel in cataract surgery in comparison of their combination in room temperature will reduce the dosage of sedative drugs which we use during surgery and help us getting a more effective sedation and gaining both a satisfied patient and surgeon.
