The aim of this randomized trial is to assess the efficacy of preventive analgesia using different peribulbar blocks (PBB) under SPI-guided anaesthesia for vitreoretinal surgery (VRS), presence of PONV (postoperative nausea and vomiting) and oculocardiac reflex (OCR) and compare Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) with Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) for monitoring pain perception postoperatively. Patients will receive general anaesthesia combined with either preventive PBB using either lidocaine with bupivacaine or bupivacaine or ropivacaine
Monitoring depth of anaesthesia using spectral entropy (SE) and quality of neuromuscular block are routine in modern anaesthesia, whereas monitoring of analgesia still requires further studies. Recently, the Surgical Pleth Index (SPI) was added as a surrogate variable showing the nociception-antinociception balance into abovementioned parameters constituting a novel approach in monitoring patients intraoperatively, known as adequacy of anaesthesia (AoA) or tailor-made anaesthesia. Different options of local anesthetic mixtures used for peribulbar block result in different analgetic potency. PBB is supposed to reduce requirement for intraoperative narcotic analgesics when used together with general anaesthesia and therefore may reduce the rate of PONV, OCR and perception of postoperative pain. The aim of the study is to investigate the influence of different PBBs on abovementioned outcomes.

pain perception intraoperatively
The investigators will compare the efficacy of analgesia intraoperatively according to technique of analgesia used preoperatively: either peribulbar block or intravenous infusion. The investigators will administer a rescue dose of fentanyl intravenously in a dose of 1 mcg per kg of body weight in the case when SPI (surgical pleh index value) value increases over 15 points in SPI scale every 5 minutes until SPI value decreases back to baseline value. Additionally, the investigators will analyse rescue fentanyl consumption in abovementioned groups
Time frame: intraoperative assessment
oculocardiac reflex rate
the investigators will compare the rate of presence of OCR intraoperatively in studied groups observing the presence of heart rate (HR) rapid decrease by 30%.
Time frame: intraoperative assessment
pain perception postoperatively
The investigators will compare the efficacy of analgesia postoperatively according to technique of analgesia used preoperatively: sort of anaesthetic mixture used for peribulbar block. The investigators will use the numeric rating scale (NRS) and compare it with surgical pleth index value (SPI) for certain pain perception: mild, moderate, acute.
Time frame: up to one hour after discharge to postoperative unit performed every 10 minutes.
PONV (postoperative nausea and vomiting)
The investigators will compare the presence of every incident of PONV after emergence from GA in studied groups and use predictive Apfel Score
Time frame: postoperative assessment up to 24 hours
