Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Main Objective: In this study we want to evaluate the role of additional topical Oxybuprocainhydrochlorid (Novain 0.4%) versus Placebo lubrication eye drops (Oculotect®) for perioperative analgesia in pediatric surgery with regard to intra- and postoperative pain management. ;Secondary Objective: •Anesthesia variables Durations Hemodynamic monitoring Oxygenation Intraoperative pain score Postoperative pain assessment •Ophthalmologic variables Surgical variables Intra- and postoperative complications Functional and morphologic results ;Primary end point(s): Amount of intraoperative analgesia with intravenous fentanyl (1 µg/kg; 0.2 mL/kg of 5 µg/kg) and the postoperative analgesia;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: day of surgery

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Secondary end point(s): • Anesthesia variables o Durations: total anesthesia time, time for intubation and extubation, time at the recovery room o Hemodynamic monitoring: heart rate, pulse, blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) o Oxygenation: intraoperative and postoperative in the recovery room o Intraoperative pain score: salivation, tearing, Bell phenomenon o Postoperative: nausea, vomiting, headache, sore throat; time to drink; time to eat; discharge same/next day • Ophthalmologic variables o Surgical variables: duration of surgery, type of surgery o Safety o Intraoperative complications: Iris bleeding, iris prolapse, hypotony, expulsive bleeding, posterior capsule rupture, vitreous loss, globe perforation o Postoperative complications: Retinal detachment, endophthalmitis, visual axis obscuration (VAO), nystagmus, strabismus, amblyopia o Functional and morphologic results • Demographic information o Age, gender ;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: surgery day and postoperative follow-up visits: one day, one week, one, three and six months after surgery
