Effects of Oxygen Cage Support During Cataract Surgery

2. Juni 2026 aktualisiert von: Zeynep Kaya Pehlivan, Ataturk University

The Effect of Oxygen Support Cage Material Use During Cataract Surgery on Operation Time, Anxiety, Physiological Parameters, and Patient Experiences: A Mixed Methods Study

Cataract is an ocular disorder resulting from lens opacity; it stands as the most common cause of preventable blindness worldwide and significantly impairs the quality of life in elderly individuals. Surgical treatment utilizing small-incision phacoemulsification is the most effective solution for cataracts. Cataract surgery is generally performed under local anesthesia, which requires patients to remain awake throughout the operation, thereby potentially increasing their anxiety experiences. Elevated anxiety not only reduces patient comfort but can also lead to alterations in physiological parameters and a prolongation of the operation time. Furthermore, it is observed that the surgical drapes used to maintain the sterility of the surgical field during the operation cause discomfort to the patient. The weight and positioning of these drapes can cover the patient's mouth and nose area during the ongoing surgery, creating a sensation of difficulty in breathing (dyspnea). In addition to these circumstances, standard oxygen support is provided to the patient during cataract surgery performed under local anesthesia. This support is administered nasally via an open-ended oxygen tubing from beneath the surgical drape, aiming to ease the patient's respiration. However, when the oxygen flow rate is increased based on the patient's needs, high-velocity and high-concentration oxygen administration is observed to cause mucosal dryness, which shortly triggers reflex-induced irritative coughing attacks. For these reasons, it is crucial to keep anxiety under control, provide oxygen to prevent hypoxia, and monitor physiological parameters during cataract surgery.

Detaillierte Beschreibung

This study is designed as a mixed-methods research project comprising two distinct but interconnected phases. The quantitative phase utilizes a randomized controlled experimental design to evaluate the physiological and clinical efficacy of a newly developed Oxygen Support Cage material. The qualitative phase employs a descriptive phenomenological approach to explore patients' in-depth subjective experiences, comfort levels, and perceptions regarding the device.

Patients assigned to the intervention group will undergo cataract surgery with the integration of the 3D-printed, biocompatible Oxygen Support Cage. This device is positioned over the patient's head area to elevate the sterile surgical drapes, effectively preventing direct contact and weight pressure on the patient's face, mouth, and nose. Concurrently, supplemental oxygen will be delivered into the cage micro-environment. This setup aims to maintain an optimal, stable oxygen concentration without high-velocity nasal flow, thereby mitigating mucosal dryness and potential cough reflexes. Patients assigned to the control group will receive the standard hospital protocol for cataract surgery, where supplemental oxygen is administered nasally via open-ended oxygen tubing beneath standard surgical drapes without any cage support.

Physiological parameters (including blood pressure, heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation, and end-tidal carbon dioxide [EtCO2]) will be monitored and recorded chronologically at predefined intervals: 15 minutes before descending to the operating room (in the patient room), during specific intraoperative stages, and postoperatively in the recovery room. Anxiety levels and surgical durations will be documented accordingly.

Following the completion of the surgical procedures and quantitative data collection, a subset of participants from the intervention group will be invited to participate in semi-structured, face-to-face qualitative interviews. These interviews will focus on their sensory experiences, breathing comfort, confinement anxiety under the drapes, and overall satisfaction with the Oxygen Support Cage. By combining statistical findings with thematic analysis of patient narratives, the study aims to provide a holistic validation of the medical device's utility in clinical practice.

Waffen und Interventionen

Teilnehmergruppe / Arm
Intervention / Behandlung
Experimental: Oxygen Support Cage Group
Participants in this arm will undergo cataract surgery with the integration of a newly developed, 3D-printed, biocompatible Oxygen Support Cage. This medical device is placed over the patient's head to elevate the sterile surgical drapes, preventing them from exerting weight pressure or making direct contact with the patient's face, mouth, and nose. Supplemental oxygen is delivered directly into the cage micro-environment to ensure stable, high-concentration oxygenation. This setup aims to prevent mucosal dryness and irritative cough reflexes while reducing drape-induced anxiety and dyspnea.
Sonstiges: Oxygen Support Cage

This intervention utilizes a uniquely structured, 3D-printed, and biocompatible Oxygen Support Cage designed specifically for patients undergoing cataract surgery under local anesthesia. Unlike standard clinical procedures where surgical drapes lay directly on the patient's face and supplemental oxygen is administered via high-velocity nasal tubing, this device acts as a physical barrier. It is positioned over the patient's head to lift the weight of the sterile drapes completely off the mouth and nose area, thereby eliminating drape-induced physical pressure, a sense of confinement, and dyspnea.

Concurrently, the device features a specialized design that allows supplemental oxygen to be delivered directly into the cage micro-environment. This setup eliminates the need for direct nasal cannulas, preventing high-velocity airflow from causing mucosal dryness and subsequent iritative cough reflexes during crucial microscopic surgical steps. This dual-action approach simultaneously addres
Kein Eingriff: Control Group: Standard Care
Participants in this arm will receive the standard hospital protocol for cataract surgery under local anesthesia. Supplemental oxygen will be administered nasally via standard open-ended oxygen tubing placed directly beneath the conventional surgical drapes. No cage support or drape-elevating device will be used; the sterile surgical drapes will rest directly over the patient's face as per routine clinical practice.
