Arpit Pavaiya, Mohar Singh Jakhar

Background:To compare isoflurane and halothane in anesthesia for intra-ocular surgery.Materials & Methods:A total of 40 subjects were enrolled. They were divided into two groups with 20 in each as isoflurane group and halothane group. Atropine was given intramuscularly before anesthesia. IOP was measured. Student's t-test was done and the obtained results were processed using SPSS software. The level of significance was set at p < 0.05.Results:During the pre-induction period, minor disparities existed between the two groups in both intraocular pressure (IOP) and systolic arterial pressure, as indicated by Student's t-test. However, these differences were deemed statistically insignificantConclusion:The use of isoflurane in this approach provides favorable conditions for intraocular surgery.
