The Use of Sublingual Melatonin Premedication in Geriatric Cataract Surgery

In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

Cataract surgery is routinely performed with anesthesia care, whereas anesthesia care for other elective, low-risk, outpatient procedures is applied more selectively. We hypothesize that sublingual melatonin will provide superior anxiolysis and sedation while maintaining a high safety profile and minimizing hemodynamic disturbances.
