First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study compares adding midazolam or cisatracurium to lidocaine for numbing the eye during vitreoretinal surgery. The goal is to see if these additives help the eye muscles paralyze faster. 90 adults having elective eye surgery will be randomly assigned to one of three groups. The main outcome is how quickly muscle paralysis occurs.
