Abstract
- Under the general anesthesia the effect of topical anesthesia on the incidence of oculocardiac reflex was investigated by preoperative instillation of 0.5% tetracaine into the 48 eyes during horizontal strabismus muscle surgery. In all cases, recession was done first. The results were as followings: 1. The incidences of oculocardiac reflex in treated and control group were 33% and 71% respectively and the difference was statistically significant(p<0.025). 2. The reduction in the incidence of oculocardiac reflex was noted both in recession and resection. But there was no statistically significant difference between treated group and control group in resection. 3. The incidence of oculocardiac reflex was not related with age, sex, type of strabismus, kind of muscles and type of surgery.
