A prospective longitudinal study on the outcome of augmented conscious sedation in single-stage adjustable strabismus surgery.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Adjustable strabismus surgery offers surgeons the flexibility to refine outcomes postoperatively, with single-stage adjustable strabismus surgery (SSASS) allowing immediate adjustments facilitated by intravenous fentanyl and midazolam.

Purpose

Our study aims to study the efficacy of a specific drug combination for SSASS.

Methods

This prospective study enrolled 32 participants aged 14 years and older undergoing horizontal or inferior rectus muscle surgeries under anesthetist supervision. Premedication with ondansetron, glycopyrrolate, dexamethasone, tramadol, and ketorolac was done with sedation maintained using midazolam and fentanyl. Strabismus surgeries were conducted with monitoring of vital signs and hemodynamic parameters. Postoperative assessments w
