About this study

Official title: A Prospective, Randomised, Single-masked Comparison of Retrobulbar Anesthesia, Peribulbar Anesthesia and Topical Combined Subconjunctival(Two-step) Anesthesia in Posterior Vitrectomy

A prospective, randomised, single-masked comparison of local anaesthetic approaches including topical anesthesia combined sub-conjunctival anesthesia(two-step anesthesia) for minimally invasive vitrectomy(TAMIV)vs peribulbar block vs retrobulbar block

Read the detailed description

Purpose: topical anesthesia combined sub-conjunctival anesthesia(two-step anesthesia) for minimally invasive vitrectomy Methods: This prospective, randomized, single-blinded clinical trail is conducted at Shanghai Aier Eye Hospital. Selected group of 60 patients with retinal-vitreous diseases will be randomized divided into 3 groups and underwent 25-gauge vitrectomy. Group1 uses two-step anesthesia , whereas Group 2 uses retrobulbar anesthesia, group 3 uses peribulbar anesthesia. A 5-point Visual Analogue Pain Scale is used to assess patients' pain score and surgeon's ease while operating. Any complications therefore will be made note of.

Being tested
retrobulbar anesthesia, peribulbar anesthesia, two step anesthesia

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • retrobulbar anesthesiaProcedure or surgery

    2% lidocaine 4ml injected into retrobulbar space

  • peribulbar anesthesiaProcedure or surgery

    2% lidocaine 4 to 8ml injected into peribulbar space

  • two step anesthesiaProcedure or surgery

    conjunctival cul-de-sac anesthetized with 0.5% proparacaine hydrochloride drops three times + 2% lidocaine 0.6 to 0.8ml subconjunctival injection

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. pain scores

    5-point Visual Analogue Pain Scale(VAPS): Grade 1: No pain or discomfort; Grade 2: mild pain or discomfort; Grade 3: moderate pain or discomfort; Grade 4: severe pain or discomfort;

    Measured: During surgery

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. surgeon's ease

    Grade 1: No discomfort; Grade 2: mild discomfort; Grade 3: moderate discomfort; Grade 4: severe discomfort;

    Measured: During surgery
