Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame

Timepoint: At 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 min after the block. Method of measurement: The 3-point scale.;The Duration of lid akinesia. Timepoint: At 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 h postoperative. Method of measurement: Clinical assessment of regaining full movement.;The duration of globe akinesia. Timepoint: At 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 h postoperative. Method of measurement: Clinical assessment of regaining full movement.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Patient satisfaction. Timepoint: After recovery. Method of measurement: 7-point Likert-like verbal rating scale.;Surgeon satisfaction. Timepoint: At the end of surgery. Method of measurement: The 7-point Likert-like verbal rating scale.;The duration of analgesia. Timepoint: At 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 h postoperative. Method of measurement: The 10-point Visual Analog Scale.;The intraocular pressure. Timepoint: At baseline and 10 minutes after injection of the local anesthetics. Method of measurement: Schiotz tonometer.;Time to start surgery. Timepoint: At 1, 3, 5, 7, and 10 min after the block. Method of measurement: Corneal anesthesia together with an ocular movement score =1 in each direction and an eyelid akinesia score of 0 (total score <5).
