Ophthalmology | Protocols

These recommendations were developed collaboratively by members of the Anesthesia and Nursing departments at Boston Children's Hospital, and were reviewed with David Hunter, MD, PhD, Boston Children's ophthalmologist-in-chief.

The recommendations will help support the ophthalmologist’s practice of adjusting sutures postoperatively in the Post-Anesthesia Care Unit (PACU). In addition, they will help to ensure an optimal surgical experience and patient outcome while minimizing the impact on surgical volume and flow.
