Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Change in mean arterial blood pressure

    The change in mean arterial blood pressure will be recorded at baseline, after induction of anesthesia, immediately before peribulbar block, after block administration, at skin incision, during osteotomy and lacrimal sac manipulation (oculocardiac reflexes-provoking steps), and every 5 minutes thereafter until the end of surgery.

    Till the end of surgery (Up to 2 hours)

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • Heart rate

    Till the end of surgery (Up to 2 hours)

  • Oxygen saturation

    Till the end of surgery (Up to 2 hours)

  • Degree of patient satisfaction

    24 hours postoperatively

  • Degree of surgeon satisfaction

    24 hours postoperatively
