Tegaderm vs. EyeGard for Eye Protection
August 20, 2019 updated by: Tufts Medical Center
A Randomized Control Trial of Tegaderm vs. EyeGard for Eye Protection During General Anesthesia
This study compares TegadermTM and EyeGard® in general anesthesia.

Conditions
Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Protective eye tape is used during anesthesia in order to prevent corneal abrasion and other eye injuries.
However, there is no single accepted practice of how to protect the eyes during anesthesia, and a variety of different tapes and techniques have been adopted in different institutions.
In this study, investigators will compare two tapes, TegadermTM and EyeGard® to determine if one is less likely to cause eyelid irritation in an effort to improve care for future patients.

What is the study measuring?
Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Proportion of Participants With Eyelid Erythema
Time Frame: Standardized photos will be taken within 5 minutes of removing tape after surgery (surgery of any duration)
|
The amount of erythema caused upon removal of the tape is the primary outcome of interest. Investigators will use the following 0-3 tape-associated skin index grading scale to grade eyelid erythema: 0- no erythema
|
Standardized photos will be taken within 5 minutes of removing tape after surgery (surgery of any duration)
|
Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Patient Satisfaction
Time Frame: post-operation
|
Patient Satisfaction will be based on one question and graded on a Likert Scale from 1-5.
A score of 5 is considered better (higher satisfaction), while a 1 is considered lower.
There are no subscales.
|
post-operation
|
Rate of Corneal Abrasions
Time Frame: post-operation
|
Corneal abrasion is assessed in the recovery room
