Summary
Background. Succinylcholine is still recommended for some situations in open globe
injuries. However, the use of succinylcholine is associated with an increase in
intraocular pressure (IOP). This may be deleterious in open globe injuries. No method
has previously been shown to abolish completely this rise in the IOP. We investigated
whether dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 agonist, could attenuate this increase in the
IOP after succinylcholine and intubation. Methods. Forty patients with no pre-existing
eye disease undergoing general anaesthesia were randomly premedicated by i.v.
dexmedetomidine 0.6 mu g kg(-1), or saline. Heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure
(MAP), and IOP (using Schioetz tonometer) were measured before, after the
premedication, after thiopental, after succinylcholine, immediately after intubation,
and then every 2 min for 6 min. Results. Succinylcholine and intubation increased
IOP in both groups. However, in the dexmedetomidine group, the IOP rise was not
different from the baseline value (P = 0.65) and was significantly lower than in the
saline group (P = 0.003). After intubation, the MAP in the control group was higher
than that in the dexmedetomidine group (P = 0.041) and exceeded the baseline value
(P < 0.001). The HR also showed less fluctuation in the dexmedetomidine group than
in the saline group. Conclusions. We conclude that dexmedetomidine could be a
beneficial premedication in open globe injuries.
