Paediatric Ophthalmology / Strabismus
This study adopted an aggressive prophylactic anti postoperative nausea and vomiting (PONV) regime with retrospective review of patient outcomes. Of 794 adult strabismus procedures, 31 (4%) had PONV. Median post-anaesthetic recovery was 45 minutes. Prolonged recovery was associated with long-term benzodiazepine and with higher rates of PONV, over sedation and postoperative analgesic administration.
