Intraocular pressures after suxamethonium and endotracheal intubation in patients pretreated with pancuronium. 1976

D J Bowen, and J C McGrand, and R J Palmer

Intraocular pressures were recorded after the administration of suxamethonium and endotracheal intubation in a series of 20 patients who had not received pancuronium 1 mg 4 min before the suxamethonium. The pressures were compared with those in a control group of 20 patients who had not received pancuronium. The increase in intraocular pressure which followed the suxamethonium and intubation, and which occurred in about 50% of the patients, was similar in both groups of patients.
