Registration Number
NCT02037009
Lead Sponsor

Brief Summary

In France, cataract surgery is the most frequent surgical procedure, performed with local anesthesia and most often very light techniques using eye-drops. Technical improvements of surgical and anesthesic procedures have led many countries to implement alternative surveillance procedures. In France, it is mandatory that the persons in charge of anesthetic surveillance (doctors or nurses) should be qualified in anesthesia.

In this study, the investigators aim to assess the feasibility and safety of a centralised monitoring station outside of the operating rooms, as an alternative to the presence of 1 anesthetic nurse in each operating room.

Detailed Description

In their hospital, the investigators will study the following alternatives for the anesthetic surveillance of the 3 operating rooms where surgery of the ocular anterior segment is performed: 1) the usual procedure, with the presence of 3 anesthetic nurses (1 in each operating room) and 2) a new organization with an anesthetic nurse checking a centralised monitoring station and a back-up anesthetic nurse ready to intervene inside the 3 operating rooms whenever needed.

The 2 procedures will be successively implemented during 3 to 4 sequences, until the number of surgical procedures statistically required have been studied.

The investigators aim to demonstrate that the centralised monitored surveillance does not put the patients at risk more often than the current surveillance procedure.

centralised monitoring surveillanceHealth care organization (anesthetic surveillance)1 anesthetic nurse is posted at a centralised monitoring station outside of the 3 operating rooms, while another one can intervene inside the 3 operating rooms whenever needed. Interphones allow communication between the monitoring station and the operating rooms.
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Anesthetic potential impact on surgery conditionsduring surgical procedure

Incidence rate of at least 1 of the following events, during surgery:

* blood pressure \> 200 mmHg on 2 consecutive measures (automatic measure every 3 minutes)

* cardiac frequency \< 45/min for at least 1 mn

* SaO2 \<85% for at least 1 mn

* poor operating conditions (rated ≤ 7 by the surgeon, on a numeric scale from 0 to 10=excellent conditions). Assessment at the exit of operating room.

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod

incidence rate of each of the events included in the primary outcomeduring surgical procedure

incidence rate of blood pressure \> 200 mmHg on 2 consecutive measures (automatic measure every 3 minutes) incidence rate of cardiac frequency \< 45/min for at least 1 mn incidence rate of SaO2 \<85% for at least 1 mn incidence rate of poor operating conditions (rated \< 7 by the surgeon, on a numeric scale from 0 to 10 (excellent conditions)

working conditionsat the end of a working day

auto-assessment of working conditions by the anesthetic nurses, on a 0 to 10 (excellent) scale and on a 0 to 10 (completely safe) scale
