A Comparison of One-site and Two-site Peribulbar Anaesthesia for Cataract Surgery at National Eye Centre, Kaduna. Nigeria
In Brief
A Phase 4 clinical trial evaluating One-site peribulbar injection and Two- site peribulbar injection for Anaesthesia and Cataract. Completed, enrolled 100 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
The aim of the study was to compare the efficacy and safety of single injection peribulbar anaesthesia against the classic double injection technique. This was a double blind randomized controlled trial involving two groups of consenting, adult Nigerian subjects with operable age-related cataract. An anaesthetic nurse who allocated the subjects to the two groups administered all the injections. The same surgeon operated on all the subjects while the principal investigator and a research assistant measured the outcome variables. All others were blinded as to subject allocation.
