The facility also uses "social sedation," in which an employee holds a patient's hand and comforts the patient during the procedure. The alternative steps mean an anesthesiologist does not need to be present for patients undergoing cataract surgery.
Winners received a crystal award and a trip to Las Vegas, where they presented their study during the AAAHC Institute's annual meeting.
