Overview

May inform anesthesia selection in ophthalmic surgery but should not change practice; cross-sectional associations leave open need for prospective validation.

No

Structured PICO

P
Population
100 patients aged 5 to 87 years undergoing ophthalmic surgery at a single center in Syria, evaluated for the types of anesthesia administered.
E
Exposure
Anesthesia agents (retrobulbar and sub conjunctival block vs general anesthesia)
O
Outcome
