Randomized Controlled Trial Clinical Trial[Efficacy of 1% ropivacaine with and without hyaluronidase for peribulbar block].
To determine whether adding hyaluronidase to 1% ropivacaine without adrenalin enhances peribulbar anesthesia for cataract surgery with phacoemulsification. ⋯ The greater efficacy of a peribulbar block with the addition of 10 U/mL of hyaluronidase to 1% ropivacaine without adrenalin, in comparison to 1% ropivacaine alone, was demonstrated by a lower rate of reinjection and ocular mobility, even though no statistically significant difference in either ocular or palpebral akinesia was found.
