Abstract
Objectives: The objective of this study was to evaluate if distraction of patients during cataract surgery in the form of a conversation with the operating surgeon would augment the effect of topical anesthesia in lowering pain. Subjects and methods: This study included 101 eye surgeries in total. 52 of our study participants were female and 49 men. 49 subjects had previous cataract surgery on the other eye. The subjects were randomly divided into interventional and control group. The interventional group included 51 subjects that had a conversation about neutral or pleasant topics with the operating surgeon during the surgical procedure. The control group consisted of 50 patients who were only given minor instructions during the surgery. We used PCS, NRS and STAI to evaluate the pain perception. Results: The data from our questionnaires did not show a statistical significant difference between interventional and control group. A slight correlation was found between NRS results and the duration of surgery. Conclusions: : Our hypothesis that a conversation between the surgeon and patient during cataract surgeries could augment the effect of topical anesthesia and decrease pain was not confirmed.
Abstract (croatian)
Ciljevi: Cilj ovog istraživanja bio je procijeniti može li distraktiranje pacijenata tijekom operacije katarakta u obliku razgovora s operaterom povećati učinak topikalne anestezije u smanjenju boli. Bolesnici i metode: U istraživanje je uključena 101 operacija oka. Od ispitanika u istraživanju 52 bile su žene, a 49 ispitanika muškaraci. Prethodnu operaciju katarakta na drugom oku imalo je 49 ispitanika. Ispitanici su nasumično podijeljeni u intervencijsku i kontrolnu skupinu. Intervencijsku skupinu činio je 51 ispitanika s kojima je tijekom operativnog zahvata razgovorao operativni kirurg o neutralnim ili ugodnim temama. Kontrolnu skupinu činilo je 50 ispitanika koji su tijekom operacije dobili samo poneke upute. Za procjenu percepcije boli koristili smo Pain Catastrophizing Scale, Numerical Rating Scale i State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. Rezultati: Podaci iz naših upitnika nisu pokazali statistički značajnu razliku između intervencijske i kontrolne skupine. Pronađena je slaba korelacija izmedu rezultata Numerical Rating Scale-a i trajanja operacije. Zaključci: Naša hipoteza da bi razgovor između kirurga i pacjenta tijekom operacije katarakte mogao pojačati učinak topičke anestezije i smanjiti bol nije potvrđena.
