Effect of Peribulbar anesthesia with adrenaline versus without adrenaline on retinal thickness in patients undergoing elective cataract surgery

Not Applicable

• Conditions: Eye Diseases

• Registration Number: PACTR201907757137778
• Lead Sponsor: Beni suef university

Brief Summary

Regarding OCT findings in patients in Adrenaline group, there was a statistically significant postoperative decrease in superior (P-value=0.028), inferior (P-value=0.017), or average retinal thickness (P-value=0.021). In control group, there was also a statistically significant postoperative decrease in superior (P-value=0.032), inferior (P-value=0.046), or average retinal thickness (P-value=0.028). On comparing OCT findings in adrenaline and control group, there was no statistically significant difference between groups regarding the decrease in superior (P-value=0.325), inferior (P-value=0.642), or average retinal thickness (P-value=0.291)
