  • Title: A comparison between the effects of fentanyl, droperidol with fentanyl, and halothane anaesthesia on intra-ocular pressure in adults.
    Author: Feneck RO, Durkin MA.
    Journal: Anaesthesia; 1987 Mar; 42(3):266-9. PubMed ID: 3578725.
    Abstract:
    The effects of fentanyl 3.0 micrograms/kg (group 1), droperidol 0.1 mg/kg with fentanyl 3.0 micrograms/kg (group 2), and halothane 0.5% inspired concentration (group 3) on intra-ocular pressure were compared. In each group, a decrease in intra-ocular pressure was produced which was significantly lower than resting values (p greater than 0.01) and was independent of changes in arterial blood pressure. The recovery time in group 1 patients was significantly less than that of patients in group 3.
