Patient age, surgery duration, and emergency status significantly influence the choice of anesthesia technique in ophthalmic surgery.
Fahed et al. (2023) conducted a cross-sectional in Ophthalmic surgery (n=100). Anesthesia techniques was evaluated on Association of anesthesia type with patient age (p=0.000). In patients undergoing ophthalmic surgery, older age was significantly associated with the use of regional anesthesia (p=0.000), and general anesthesia was associated with longer surgery durations (p=0.003).
