  • Title: Diclofenac vs oxybuprocaine eyedrops for analgesia in paediatric strabismus surgery.
    Author: Morton NS, Benham SW, Lawson RA, McNicol LR.
    Journal: Paediatr Anaesth; 1997; 7(3):221-6. PubMed ID: 9189968.
    Abstract:
    Forty children undergoing strabismus surgery as day patients were randomly allocated to receive oxybuprocaine 0.4% eyedrops or 0.1% diclofenac eyedrops for perioperative analgesia. A non-invasive anaesthetic technique using the reinforced laryngeal mask airway was used. The study demonstrated that both topical analgesics provided good to excellent analgesia and the anaesthetic technique was associated with a relatively low incidence of nausea and vomiting. Complications were limited to two children who were admitted with persistent postoperative nausea and vomiting.
