Can a single nurse monitor multiple eye surgeries safely?
NCT ID NCT02037009
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looked at whether a central monitoring station outside the operating room could safely replace having an anesthesia nurse in each room during eye surgeries like cataract removal. Researchers compared the rate of complications (like high blood pressure or low oxygen) between the two setups in 900 adults. The goal was to see if the central approach is just as safe and could help hospitals use staff more efficiently.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.
- What this could lead to
- If successful, this could allow hospitals to safely monitor patients during eye surgery from a central station, potentially reducing staffing needs.
- What could go wrong
- This is a completed study focused on feasibility and safety, not a new treatment. The results may not apply to other types of surgery or hospitals with different setups.
