Strabismus Recovery With Proparacaine and Oculocardiac Reflex

Does Proparacaine Enhance Strabismus Recovery

Observational study to determine if topical anesthetic and intraoperative oculocardiac reflex influence post strabismus surgery recovery.

In an observational study with de-identified data of oculocardiac reflex (OCR) and strabismus surgery under routine anesthesia, a cohort of ongoing patients received topical proparacaine immediately post op, or none. Co-variables were intraoperative opioid and OCR, patient age, type of surgery. Several post-operative recovery outcome variables were prospectively monitored.

Inclusion Criteria:
