The study aimed to investigate the effectivity of bupivacaine 0,5% as post-operative analgesia in intravitreal silicone evacutaion surgery
Approval from Ethical Committee of Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia was acquired prior conducting the study. Subjects were given informed consent before enrolling the study and randomized into two groups. Intravenous (IV) cannule with Ringer Lactate fluid, non-invasive blood pressure monitor, electrocardiogram (ECG) and pulse-oxymetry were set on the subjects in the operation room. Co-induction was done with midazolam 0,05 mg/kg and fentanyl 2 mcg/kg. Induction was done with propofol 1-2 mg/kg, followed by Laryngeal Mask insertion facilitated by atracurium 0,5 mg/kg. Maintenance was done with sevoflurane 1-2 vol%, O2:H2O = 1:2, flow 2 liter/minute. Surgery started. After final stitching, Group 1 received subconjunctival bupivacaine 0,5% 2,5ml in between stitches; Group 2 received subconjunctival NaCl 0,9% in between stitches. Both groups received paracetamol 20 mg/kgBW IV as post-operative analgesics. Hemodynamic, pain degree (using Visual Analog Scale / VAS), and nausea/vomiting incidence, and the time for first requested additional analgesia were recorded. Data was analyzed using SPSS (Statistical Package for Social Scientist), for numerical data using unpaired T-test or Mann-Whitney-U test, for categorical data using Chi-square test or Fischer Exact's Test. Data normality was tested by Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Significant value is p\<0.05.
