Anaesthesia for eye surgery

Abstract

1. We have presented a technique of general anaesthesia for eye surgery which is safe and preasant for the patient and is satisfactory to the surgeon and anaesthetist. 2. Pentothal, a relaxant, and cyclopropane and nitious oxide per endotracheal tube are considered a superior anaesthetic routine for any eye surgery. 3. Patients who have received general anaesthesia show no apprehension when they return for a second operation as is evident when this is to be done under local anaesthesia. © 1955 Canadian Anesthesiologists.
