Phase: N/A

Status: Completed

Sponsored by: Outcomes Research Consortium

Summary

This study will compare the effect of two intravenous solutions on eye pressure during spine surgery in the following groups:

Group A - Lactated Ringer's replacement for blood loss and placebo eye drops

Group B - Lactated Ringer's replacement for blood loss and brimonidine eye drops

Group C - Albumin replacement for blood loss and placebo eye drops

Group D - Albumin replacement for blood loss and brimonidine eye drops

Clinical Details

Official title: The Effect of Lactated Ringer's Solution Versus Albumin and the Alpha-2 Agonist Brimonidine Versus Placebo on Intraocular Pressure During Prone Spine Surgery

Study design: Observational Model: Cohort, Time Perspective: Prospective

Primary outcome: The primary outcome will be the maximum intraocular pressure at any time during surgery.

Secondary outcome: Intraocular pressure as a function of surgical duration; Velocity of retrobulbar blood flow; Facial edema and or chemosis; Time to extubation; Duration of recovery Correlation between Dpp and FTc.

Detailed description: Patients will be administered either brimonidine eye drops, or placebo eye drops, preoperatively, on the day of surgery and during surgery. Eye pressure will be measured before surgery, every 30 minutes throughout your surgery and every hour for 4 hours following surgery. Subjects will be evaluated before surgery and on days 5, 8, 15 after surgery. During these evaluations, the subject will be asked questions about recovery and his/her eyes will be checked by an ophthalmologist and vision will be tested.
