  • Title: Remifentanil prevents an increase in intraocular pressure after succinylcholine and tracheal intubation.
    Author: Alexander R, Hill R, Lipham WJ, Weatherwax KJ, el-Moalem HE.
    Journal: Br J Anaesth; 1998 Oct; 81(4):606-7. PubMed ID: 9924241.
    Abstract:
    We have studied changes in intraocular pressure (IOP) in 30 patients after succinylcholine (suxamethonium) and tracheal intubation following administration of propofol 2 mg kg-1 and either remifentanil 1 microgram kg-1 (group R) or saline (group S). IOP was measured before induction, before administration of succinylcholine and the study drug, before intubation and for every 1 min after intubation for 5 min. There was a significant decrease in IOP in group R compared with group S from the time of administration of the study drugs to the end of the study (P < 0.006).
