Anaesthesia in ophthalmologic surgery

Abstract

Many anesthetic techniques are available in ocular surgery for the anestesiologists.Currently general anesthesia includes basic products (intravenous and inhalation anesthetics, opioids, and neuromuscular blockers) but less utilised in ophthalmology. General anaesthesia is indicated in debile, uncooperative or senile patients, in patients who refuse loco-regional procedures and in children. Regional or general anesthetic methods depends on the experience of the anesthetist. Increasing aging and comorbidity in the ophthalmic patient population needs careful management of each technique and therefore sufficient communication between anaesthesiologist and surgeon is essential. Ocular anesthetic techniques and managements play a critical role for the success and safety of ophthalmic surgery.
