Conscious Sedation Efficacy of the Novel Medication, MKO Melt (Midazolam, Ketamine, Ondansetron), During Cataract Surgery
The investigators hypothesized that the combination of Valium, Tramadol and Zofran is
superior to the substantially more expensive MKO melt in patient satisfaction after cataract
surgery.
superior to the substantially more expensive MKO melt in patient satisfaction after cataract
surgery.
The MKO melt is being marketed as an anesthetic medication for cataract surgery that has the
advantage that it eliminates the need for an IV in 85% of patients although that number was
established anecdotally. This alternative, however, is very cost limiting.The investigators
wanted to see if the current regimen (valium only) or a combination similar to the MKO melt
(valium + tramadol + zofran) are as good if not better than the MKO melt for anesthesia and
how many patients could have indeed gone with an intravenous line (didn't need any extra
medications).
