NCT03413371

Brief Summary

The aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of preventive analgesia using different peribulbar blocks (PBB) under SPI-guided anaesthesia for vitreoretinal surgery (VRS), presence of PONV (postoperative nausea and vomiting) and oculocardiac reflex (OCR) and compare Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) for monitoring pain perception postoperatively. Patients will receive general anaesthesia combined with either preventive PBB using either lidocaine with bupivacaine or bupivacaine or ropivacaine

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • pain perception intraoperatively

    The investigators will compare the efficacy of analgesia intraoperatively according to technique of analgesia used preoperatively: either peribulbar block or intravenous infusion. The investigators will administer a rescue dose of fentanyl intravenously in a dose of 1 mcg per kg of body weight in the case when SPI (surgical pleh index value) value increases over 15 points in SPI scale every 5 minutes until SPI value decreases back to baseline value. Additionally, the investigators will analyse rescue fentanyl consumption in abovementioned groups

    intraoperative assessment

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • oculocardiac reflex rate

    intraoperative assessment

  • pain perception postoperatively

    up to one hour after discharge to postoperative unit performed every 10 minutes.

  • PONV (postoperative nausea and vomiting)

    postoperative assessment up to 24 hours
