Comparison of two sedation protocols on intraocular pressure and hemodynamic responses during colonoscopy.

Objective: Colonoscopy is one of the most frequently performed interventional endoscopic procedures for diagnosis and treatment. During the procedure, the increase in intraabdominal pressure can cause undesirable spikes in intraocular pressure. In the literature, there are no studies on agent combinations that cause the least effect on intraocular pressure and hemodynamic response in colonoscopic procedures, which are performed more frequently in the elderly, the patient group at the greatest risk for glaucoma.

The efficacy of esmolol, remifentanil and nitroglycerin in controlled hypotension for functional endoscopic sinus surgery.

Introduction: Controlled hypotension is a reversible procedure in which the patient's baseline mean arterial blood pressure is reduced by 30% and sustained at 60-70 mmHg during the procedure. It decreases blood loss and provides clear surgical field during the procedures.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to compare the efficacy of controlled hypotension agents esmolol, remifentanil, and nitroglycerin in functional endoscopic sinus surgery, in terms of hemodynamic changes and impact on the surgical efficiency.

Effect of Uterine Fundal Pressure on Maternal Intraocular Pressure in Cesarean Delivery: Comparison of Regional and General Anesthesia.

Purpose: To evaluate the intraocular pressure (IOP) changes accompanying fundal pressure during a cesarean-section procedure under both regional and general anesthesia.

Methods: In total, 60 women scheduled for elective cesarean section, none of them diagnosed with ocular problems, were enrolled in the study. Patients underwent cesarean section under either general (group G, n=30) or regional anesthesia (group S, n=30) according to their choice.
