Abstract
This study allows us to assess selection criteria used in our hospital to determine which patients can undergo cataract surgery under topical anesthesia without the anesthesia team. This procedure lowers organizational constraints while still insuring patient safety. Some patients still probably need an anesthesiologist present, such as those with an unstable disease or risk of agitation, in order to optimize the medications administered during surgery.
