Summary

This study compares three sedation approaches—using dexmedetomidine, propofol, or both—during cataract surgery in 1,000 adults. Researchers will measure how well each method sedates patients, affects heart rate and blood pressure, and causes side effects like nausea. The goal is to find the safest and most effective sedation protocol.
