Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
The effects of sevoflurane and ketamine on intraocular pressure in children during examination under anesthesia.
We studied the effects on intraocular pressure (IOP) of anesthesia administered during examination under anesthesia (EUA) in children. ⋯ IOP measured after ketamine sedation is more likely to represent the awake IOP than that after sevoflurane anesthesia. Changes in SBP, DBP, and HR caused by sevoflurane suggest that hemodynamic alterations may underlie its effects on IOP.

Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
"Instant vision" compared with postoperative patching: clinical evaluation and patient satisfaction after bilateral cataract surgery.
To compare two methods of postoperative dressing regimen: patching vs "instant vision" without patch. ⋯ The clinical examinations showed that both methods were equally safe for postoperative therapy. However, further efforts have to be made to increase the patients' comfort with "instant vision" in the first hours after cataract surgery.
