    Ketamine anesthesia is effective for pediatric strabismus surgery, with few side effects. This study supports its use as a primary anesthetic choice for children undergoing this procedure.

    Area of Science:

    • Ophthalmology
    • Anesthesiology

    Background:

    • Conflicting opinions exist regarding Ketamine anesthesia efficacy in strabismus surgery.
    • Pediatric strabismus surgery requires careful anesthetic management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy and safety of Ketamine anesthesia in pediatric strabismus surgery.
    • To determine if Ketamine is a suitable primary anesthetic for this patient group.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 44 children aged six months to six years undergoing strabismus surgery.
    • Anesthesia administered primarily using Ketamine.
    • Monitoring for anesthetic efficacy and adverse events during and after surgery.

    Main Results:

    • Satisfactory anesthesia achieved in 42 out of 44 patients.

  • Two patients required intubation and inhalation anesthesia for completion.
  • No serious intraoperative or postoperative side effects were reported.

    • Conclusions:

    • Ketamine provides satisfactory anesthesia for pediatric strabismus surgery.
    • Its ease of administration and favorable side effect profile make it a primary choice.
    • Further research may explore optimal dosing and patient selection for Ketamine in this context.
