The Effect on Intraocular Pressure of Tracheal Intubation or Laryngeal Mask (Tm) Insertion During Sevoflurane Anaesthesia in Children Without the Use of Muscle Relaxants. Paediatric Anaesthesia, 11(4), 421-424.

Anaesthesia was induced (8%) and maintained (3-4%) with sevoflurane in 100% O-2. NO muscle relaxant was used. A TT was inserted in group I (n = 20), and an LMA in group II (n = 18). IOPs were measured after induction, insertion of TT or LMA and at 1, 2 and 3 min thereafter. The heart rate, mean arterial pressures were also recorded. Results: Intraocular pressures increased significantly in group I after TT (P < 0.01) and remained high until after 3 min. The pressures were similar in the LMA group at all measurements. Conclusions: Sevoflurane does not prevent the increase in IOP after intubation without muscle relaxants. LMA does not increase IOP in children after sevoflurane induction.en10.1046/j.1460-9592.2001.00692.xinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessSevoflurane : childrenTracheal tubeİntraocular pressureLaryngeal mask airway (TM)Article11442142411442858Q2WOS:000169890500006Q3
