Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative Study
Intraocular pressure changes associated with tracheal extubation: Comparison of sugammadex with conventional reversal of neuromuscular blockade.
To compare the effects of neostigmine/atropine combination and sugammadex on intraocular pressure during tracheal extubation period. ⋯ Lower end-extubation intraocular pressure levels were obtained when sugammadex was used as a neuromuscular block reversal agent in comparison with neostigmine-atropine combination. Sugammadex may be a better option for the reversal of neuromuscular blockade and intraocular pressure increase should be avoided in patients with glaucoma or penetrating eye injury.
