Background: The present study was conducted for evaluating the complications associated with anaesthesia for ocular surgery.Materials & methods:A total of 100 subjects who underwent ocular surgeries. Information obtained included patient details, surgical procedure, anaesthetic agents administered and intraoperative problems. Information about recovery was also recorded. Subjects with history of any systemic illness, any known drug allergy were excluded from the present study. Heart rate and blood pressure were recorded separately both intraoperatively and postoperatively to evaluate the incidence of complications.Results:A total of 100 patients were analyzed. Mean age of the patients was 31.2 years. Hypotension, hypertension, tachycardia and bradycardia were seen in 23 percent, 20 percent, 12 percent and 8 percent of the patients respectively. Non-significant results were obtained while evaluating the correlation of complications with type of anesthetic agent, age and gender.Conclusion:Blood pressure related adverse effects are most commonly associated complications associated with anaesthesia for ocular surgery.
