Overview
Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy of oral sedation to intravenous sedation with anesthesiology support and monitoring.
Detailed Description
After being informed about the study and potential risks, and providing written informed consent, a total of 40 patients will undergo vitreoretinal surgery with oral Triazolam and 40 patients will undergo vitreoretinal surgery with intravenous sedation. The IV sedative will be determined by the anesthesiologist or certified registered nurse anesthetist but limited to midazolam, propofol, and fentanyl. The study will be a prospective, cross-sectional study with a 1:1 randomized procedure and unmasked.

Arms & Interventions
Oral Sedative
Participants will receive oral triazolam 30 minutes prior to surgery. Dose for BMI less than 35: 0.125 mg Dose for BMI greater than or equal to 35: 0.25 mg Followed by topical proparacaine and 6 cc sub-tenon's mixture of lidocaine and marcaine. Vitals will monitored by the operating room nurses.
Intervention: Oral Sedatives with or Without Analgesia
Intravenous Sedative
This group will receive an intravenous sedative. The sedative is limited to midazolam, fentanyl, propofol. Follow by topical proparacaine and 6 cc sub-tenon's mixture of lidocaine and marcaine. IV and monitoring will be performed by anesthesiologist or CRNA.
Intervention: Intravenous Sedatives with or Without Analgesia
Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Patient satisfaction: scale
Time Frame: A patient satisfaction survey will be completed at the one-day post operative appointment.
The patient will complete a survey at the one-day post-operative appointment. The survey consists of statements regarding the surgical procedure and experience with a scale of 1 to 6 demonstrating the patient's agreement or disagreement with the statement. Additional questions regarding the surgery and not using the 1 to 6 model will also be asked in the same survey. There will be 14 questions in the 1-6 scale portion of the survey and 4 additional questions. After all questions have been answered, the scaled questions will be analyzed for an average score out of 6 per patient. Additional questions will be analyzed by percentage of each answer. The scaled questions will be used to determine the non-inferiority of the experimental treatment. Additional questions will not be included in the non-inferiority analysis but results will be included in the study.
Secondary Outcomes
- Surgeon satisfaction: survey(The survey will be completed 10-15 minutes following the completion of the surgery.)
