Succinylcholine (SCh) increases intraocular pressure (IOP), posing risks during ocular surgery. Halothane is preferred over ether for anesthesia due to its faster IOP reduction.

Area of Science:

  • Anesthesiology
  • Ophthalmology
  • Pharmacology

Background:

  • Intraocular pressure (IOP) management is critical during anesthesia.
  • Certain anesthetic agents can significantly affect IOP.
  • Understanding these effects is crucial for patient safety, especially in ocular procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the impact of common anesthetic drugs on intraocular pressure (IOP).
  • To compare the effects of different anesthetic protocols on IOP.
  • To provide guidance on safe anesthetic drug selection for patients, particularly those undergoing ocular surgery.

Main Methods:

  • Studied 120 healthy patients undergoing non-ophthalmic surgery.
  • Administered succinylcholine (SCh) alone or with d-tubocurarine (d-Tc) or diazepam pretreatment.

  • Compared the effects of halothane and ether on IOP.

    • Main Results:

    • Succinylcholine (SCh) significantly increased IOP, especially with d-tubocurarine pretreatment.
    • Diazepam pretreatment also raised IOP, but to a lesser extent than SCh or d-Tc.
    • Halothane reduced IOP more effectively and rapidly than ether.

    Conclusions:

    • Succinylcholine (SCh) is contraindicated for intubation in patients with penetrating eye injuries.
    • SCh can be safely used in routine ophthalmic surgery if an 8-minute interval is maintained between injection and incision.
    • Halothane is a preferred anesthetic over ether for its superior IOP-lowering effects.
