Irrigation and aspiration is a crucial part of cataract surgeries. It is also imperative that the fluids used during this phase of the surgery does not impact the functioning of the operation theatre. It is common for these fluids to spill on the floor, sometimes even damaging electronics. To prevent any potential hazard, we decided to use a plastic drape to cover the head end of the patient. This is used in tandem with a bag attached to the bottom that collects any fluid that might spill past the drape. The combined usage of these small enhancements is extremely effective in avoiding any spillage of the fluid.
