Abstract :
This study was carried out at ophthalmology Dept Military Hospital, Rawalpindi from Jan 2004 to May 2004. This comparative experimental type of study was done to compare nalbuphine with propofol in order to find out suitable I/V supplementation to locoregional block for cataract surgery. Nalbuphine or propofol in subhypnotic dosage to facilitate local periorbicular block were given to 140 elderly patients at convenience sampling divided into two groups for cataract surgery. Effects of both drugs were compared clinically. Any complications observed during peri postoperative period were noted. Propofol was found better than nalbuphine in terms of patient comfort, anxiety alleviation, acceptance of Local injection and analgesia during injection (P 0.05). Very low incidence of postoperative nausea was an additional advantage. It was therefore concluded that propofol could be used in subhypnotic dosage in conjunction with Locoregional block during cataract surgery
