Efficacy of light-transmitting eye shields for wound dressing in preventing pediatric emergence agitation following bilateral strabismus surgeries: a randomized clinical trial.

Korean J Anesthesiol

Department of Anesthesiology, State Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology, Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center, Sun Yat-sen University, Guangdong Provincial Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology Visual Science, Guangdong Provincial Clinical Research Center for Ocular Diseases, Jinsui Road 7th, Tianhe District, Guangzhou, Guangdong 510060, China.

Background: Emergence agitation (EA) occurs in preschool children after ophthalmic surgery as eye shields induce visual disturbance. We aimed to investigate the efficacy of light-transmitting eye shields as an alternative to traditional medical gauze eye shields for wound dressing in terms of EA incidence following strabismus surgery.

Methods: We randomly assigned 70 preschool children undergoing bilateral strabismus surgery to receive either light-transmitting (LT group, n = 35) or medical gauze (MG group, n = 35) eye shields upon the completion of surgery.

Article Synopsis
  • Caudal blocks are a pediatric anesthesia technique used to manage pain after circumcision; this study aimed to compare the duration of the block when using a high-volume, low-concentration (HVLC) local anesthetic with and without the addition of clonidine.
  • The study included 129 children aged 0-3 years and measured the effectiveness of pain relief based on how long patients waited before needing additional acetaminophen; no significant differences were found between the clonidine and no-clonidine groups regarding pain management or emergence agitation.
  • Overall, the addition of clonidine did not significantly improve the outcomes of HVLC caudal blocks for children undergoing circumcision.
