[Neuroleptanalgesia in ophthalamic surgery (author's transl)]

After listing the bibliography, the author sugests cases in which neuroleptanalgesia is specially advisable in ophthalmic surgery, mainly in delicate and not too long operations (cataract, glaucoma a.s.o.). In cases of ocular hypertension "Diamox" is previously injected. In the premedication "Valium", and in some patients "Fentanest" and "Droperidol". During surgery the patient breathes spontaneously; oxygen is provided by means of a nasopharyngeal sound. In cataract operations akinesia is recommended. Neuroleptanalgesia has been employed in 140 eyes, mainly in cataracts (80 cases) and chronic simple glaucoma (40 cases).
