Key result
Meticulous patient preparation and tailored selection of local, regional, or general anesthesia are essential for optimizing outcomes and minimizing complications in ophthalmic surgery.
Why the study?
While local and regional anesthesia are common in eye surgery, general anesthesia becomes necessary in certain clinical situations.
This review outlines the necessary anesthesia methods and perioperative patient management strategies, including the handling of anticoagulants and antiplatelets, for ophthalmic surgeries.
Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
General anesthesia remains essential for select eye surgery patients; leaves open standardized preparation protocols for pediatric and allergic cases.
REVIEWLocal and regional anesthesia are commonly employed methods in eye surgery, there are situations in which general anesthesia becomes necessary.Some patients may decline local or regional anesthesia, be unable to maintain a steady position, or lie flat during the procedure.This is particularly pertinent for pediatric patients and individuals with allergies to local anesthetics, who may require general anesthesia.In all cases, meticulous patient preparation is paramount in eye surgery.A thorough evaluation is essential before administering anesthesia, with the choice of anesthesia method dependent on factors such as the patient's overall health, the specific surgical procedure, and the surgeon's expertise.In this review, necessary anesthesia methods in ophthalmic surgeries and perioperative patient management will be discussed.
