PurposeTo determine the need for anesthesiology in cataract surgery.MethodsFor the present study a total of 406 consecutive patients who underwent cataract surgery under regional peribulbar anesthesia were selected.ResultsIn 109 cases (28,5%) the anesthetist was required, the causes of intervention were: high blood pressure in 68 patients (16.74%), perturbation in 20 patients (4.92%), cardiac arrhytmia in 20 patients (4.92%) and one case of myocardial infarction.ConclusionsAnesthetist intervention was requiered in one third of cataract surgery cases. This is why the anesthetist care seems to be justified in cataract surgery under local anesthesia.
