INTRODUCTION
Anesthesia for EYE surgery presents many unique challenges.
In addition to possessing technical expertise, the anesthesiologist must have detailed knowledge of ocular anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology.

Adjuvants:Inj.Adrenaline( 1 in 100000) It reduces systemic absorption by local
vasoconstriction.It also reduces chance of bleeding, prolongs the duration of action. It is contraindicated in HTN and Heart diseases.
Inj Hyaluronidase It enhances diffusion of agents through tissue by
breaking down extracellular matrix. It is used 15 unints/ ml of anesthetic solution

GA Vs LA The choice is made on the basis of
the duration of the surgery, the relative risks and benefits of
each technique for the patient, patient preference.

PREOPERATIVE EVALUATION Eye surgery patients are a high-risk
group Age diabetes, hypertension, and
atherosclerosis informed consent of the patient.
![Page 15: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
HISTORY
Allergies and drug sensitivities A current list of medications Patient factors incl dementia,
deafness, language difficulty, restless legs syndrome, obstructive sleep apnea, tremors, dizziness, and claustrophobia.
![Page 16: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
PHYSICAL EXAMINATIONS Check for signs of major cardiac or
pulmonary decompensation.
Particular attention should be paid to positioning issues, such as severe scoliosis or orthopnea, Tremor.
![Page 17: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
CARDIOVASCULAR EVALUATION The AHA and American College of
Cardiology published guidelines for perioperative cardiovascular evaluation for noncardiac surgery.
Ophthalmic procedures such as cataract extraction are specifically identified as low-risk procedures.
![Page 18: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
HYPERTENSION
Severe hypertension may lead to perioperative complications.
It would be prudent to reschedule elective procedures in patients with sustained stage 3 hypertension until after 2 weeks of antihypertensive therapy.
![Page 19: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
PULMONARY CONSIDERATIONS
Preoperative risk reduction strategies
incl cessation of cigarette smoking, treatment of airflow obstruction administration of antibiotics for
respiratory infections. Patients should be assessed for sleep
apnea. Intravenous sedation is often contraindicated in these patients.
![Page 20: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
ENDOCRINE CONSIDERATIONS Severe hyperglycemia and
hypoglycemia should be avoided. A FBS should be checked
preoperatively. Insulin therapy should be used, if
needed, to maintain blood glucose at 150 to 250 mg/dL.
![Page 21: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ANTICOAGULATION Perioperative management of
anticoagulants against possible hemorrhagic complications. That depends on the following: The degree of anticoagulation. The hemorrhagic potential of the surgical
procedure as in orbital and oculoplastic surgery; of intermediate probability in vitreoretinal, glaucoma, and corneal transplant surgery; least likely in cataract surgery.
![Page 22: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
INVESTIGATIONS
ECG: New chest pain, decreased exercise tolerance, palpitations, near-syncope, fatigue, or dyspnea. Tachycardia, bradycardia, or irregular pulse on examination.

![Page 23: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
INVESTIGATIONS Urea nitrogen: renal decompensation.

![Page 24: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
GENERAL ANESTHESIA
PREMEDICATION
An effective antiemetic should be used
to decrease PONV. eg- Ondansetron
Opioids are avoided as they contribute
to PONV.
Benzodiazepines are given.
![Page 25: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
GENERAL ANESTHESIA
Intravenous agents: Propofol , Thiopental and Etomidate.
Coughing during intubation: avoided by a deep level of anesthesia and profound paralysis.
The IOP response: to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation can be blunted.
LMA: can also be used. Less changes in IOP.
![Page 26: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
AIRWAY MANAGEMENT maintenance of spontaneous
respiration via a facemask should be used, as intubation will raise the intraocular pressure.
Examination under anaesthesia (EUA)-spontaneous respiration through a reinforced laryngeal mask airway (LMA)
![Page 27: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
GENERAL ANESTHESIA
RELAXATION- A nondepolarising muscle relaxant is
used instead of succinylcholine because the latter increases intraocular pressure.
However, the rise in IOP is small by succinylcholine than the fall caused by intravenous induction agent, and also considering risk of aspiration succinylcholine can be used in an emergency case.
![Page 28: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
USE OF NITROUS OXIDE The use of nitrous oxide in eye surgery
is limited by two factors. Increase the risk of PONV, and in
ophthalmic procedures there is a high incidence of PONV
Secondly, nitrous oxide diffuses from the blood into gas filled spaces in the body.
It should be avoided in vitreoretinal detachment surgery where intraocular gas bubbles of sulphur hexachloride or perfluropropane are introduced into the eye to tamponade detached surfaces.
![Page 29: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
GENERAL ANESTHESIA
EXTUBATION & EMERGENCE A smooth emergence from general
anesthesia Deep level of anesthesia. Intravenous lidocaine (1.5 mg/kg)
prior to extubation. Severe postoperative pain is
unusual.
![Page 30: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
The effect of anesthetic agents on intraocular pressure (lOP).

Topical anesthesia
Relieve pain and itching caused by conditions such as sunburn or other minor burns, insect bites, minor cuts and scratches.
Fluorescence dye examination for corneal ulcer.
Gonioscopy Corneal scrapping for bacteriological study Paracentesis Perform a contact /applanation tonometry. Cataract, pterygium and glaucoma surgery Removal of small foreign objects from the
uppermost layer of the cornea or conjunctiva.

OCULORESPIRATORY REFLEX may cause shallow breathing,
reduced respiratory rate and even full respiratory arrest.
Trigemino vagal reflex- connection exists between the trigeminal sensory nucleus and the pneumotactic centre in the pons and medullary respiratory centre.
Commonly seen in strabismus surgery
![Page 49: Anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery dr ferdous](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062506/58ab3b9f1a28abb64d8b6b1f/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
OCULOEMETIC REFLEX
It is likely responsible for the high
incidence of vomiting after squint surgery (60-90%).
Trigemino-vagal reflex with traction on the extraocular muscles stimulating the afferent arc.
Antiemetics may reduce the incidence, a regional block technique provides the best prophylaxis
