Arm placement may influence eye pressure during surgery
NCT ID NCT07424417
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how the position of a patient's arms during spinal anesthesia affects pressure inside the eye. Sixty adults having hernia repair were randomly placed with arms at their sides or hands on their chest. Eye pressure was measured before and after anesthesia to see if arm position made a difference.
