The application of general anesthesia in the ambulatory glaucoma surgery
Journal Title: Eye Science (Yanke Xuebao) - Year 2024, Vol 39, Issue 11
Abstract
[Objective:] To analyze the application of general anesthesia in the ambulatory glaucoma surgery. [Methods:] This retrospective study collected 71 patients who underwent ambulatory glaucoma surgery with general anesthesia at Zhongshan Ophthalmic Center of Sun Yat-sen University from January 2023 to June 2023, and 154 patients who underwent similar glaucoma surgery with local anesthesia during the same period. Age differences between the two groups were balanced by propensity score-matched analysis. The main outcome measures were the patients' post-operative discharge time, and the secondary end points included the duration of surgery, the patients' preoperative and postoperative intraocular pressure (IOP), visual acuity status, central anterior chamber depth, peripheral anterior chamber depth, mannitol use, the difference in IOP reduction after surgery compared to preoperative. [Results:] After propensity score-matched analysis, as compared with group L, general anesthesia did not prolong the patients' post-operative discharge time(P>0.05). Patients in the group G displayed significant higher IOP (P<0.001), shallower central anterior chamber depth (P=0.018), and shallower peripheral anterior depth (P<0.001). The dramatic reductions in IOP after surgery were exhibited in group G as compared with group L(P=0.002). There were no statistically significant differences in postoperative central anterior chamber depth, incidences in postoperative mannitol use, as well as incidences in visual acuity improvement on the first day after surgery. [Conclusion:] Glaucoma patients with poor preoperative ocular conditions were able to complete the complex glaucoma surgery under general anesthesia without prolonging their post-operative discharge time.
