Abstract
We have examined the effect of preoperative administration of nebulized lignocaine or saline on the intraocular pressure (IOP) response to tracheal intubation in 20 adults. In the saline group, tracheal intubation was associated with a significant increase in IOP above control and preintubation values (P less than 0.01); in the lignocaine group there was no change in IOP following intubation. After intubation, IOP was significantly less in the lignocaine group than in the saline group (P less than 0.05).
