Implication

Randomized trial compares intraocular pressure impacts of spinal and general anesthesia during surgeries, suggesting higher increases in general anesthesia.

Key Points

This research evaluates how spinal anesthesia and general anesthesia affect intraocular pressure during orthopedic surgeries.
Sixty adults were randomly assigned to spinal anesthesia or general anesthesia groups.
Intraocular pressure, mean systemic arterial pressure, and heart rhythm were measured at six timepoints during surgery.
Data were analyzed to compare intraocular pressures at different intervals between the two anesthesia methods.
Baseline intraocular pressure was similar (SA: 14.28 mmHg; GA: 14.62 mmHg, p=0.923).
Most significant decrease in intraocular pressure occurred at T2 (SA: 12.37 mmHg; GA: 12.24 mmHg, p<0.001).
Intraocular pressure was significantly higher in the GA group post-intubation (GA: 19.82 mmHg; SA: 12.86 mmHg, p<0.05).
