Does Restrictive Fluid Strategy during Robotic Pelvic Surgeries Obtund Intraoperative Rise in Intraocular Pressure?

Background: Robotic pelvic surgeries require steep Trendelenburg position which may result in rise in intraocular pressure (IOP).

Aim: The aim of this study was to compare the changes that occur in IOP during robotic pelvic surgeries in steep Trendelenburg position with a restrictive intravenous fluid administration.

Settings And Design: This prospective observational study was conducted in a tertiary care institution.

Efficacy of alpha2 agonists in obtunding rise in intraocular pressure after succinylcholine and that following laryngoscopy and intubation.

Context: Elevation of intraocular pressure (IOP) is an inherent and inadvertent association with the use of succinylcholine and alpha2 agonists can be used to obtund this effect.

Aims: The study was aimed to assess the efficacy of intravenous dexmedetomidine and clonidine premedication in attenuating rise in IOP during laryngoscopy and intubation following administration of succinylcholine.

Settings And Design: This prospective, observational study was conducted in 40 patients aged 20-60 years undergoing non ophthalmic surgical procedures.
