Study Summary

This trial will compare the rate of erythema, or redness, on the eyelids after anesthesia when a TegadermTM patch is used compared to a Transpore® patch. The hypothesis is that there will be no difference in the rate of erythema between the two groups.

Who is the study for?

This trial is for adults over 18 who are scheduled for any surgery requiring anesthesia, except surgeries involving the head, neck, face, eyes or mouth. It's not for those with pre-existing eyelid redness or trauma, eyelid piercings, or anyone undergoing surgery in a prone position.Check my eligibility

What is being tested?

The study aims to compare Tegaderm Eye Tape and Transpore Eye Tape to see if there's a difference in causing eyelid redness after anesthesia. Participants will be randomly assigned one of the two tapes during their procedure.See study design

What are the potential side effects?

Potential side effects may include irritation at the tape application site leading to redness of the eyelids (eyelid erythema) following removal post-anesthesia.
