[Acute arterial hypotension by sodium-nitroprusside and intraocular tension (author's transl)].

The relationship between intraocular pressure by short-term intravenous Sodium-Nitroprusside induced arterial hypotension in intubation-anaesthesia was studied in 19 cats. A reduction of the blood pressure from an average of 168 mm Hg to 89 mm Hg (that is 47%) was followed by a clearly reproducible reduction of intraocular pressure from an average of 22 mm Hg to 10 mm Hg (that is 55%). These findings for the "closed" eye are a prerequisite for the understanding of the effects of sodium-nitroprusside in the "open" eye.

[Controlled hypotension by sodium-nitroprusside in general anaesthesia for difficult intraocular surgery (preliminary report) (author's transl)].

General anaesthesia was performed in 75 patients with difficult intraocular procedures in which the standard relaxation and hyperventilation was supplemented by controlled short-term hypotension by sodium-nitroprusside. This resulted in a significant decrease of the "vis a tergo"--e.g. the threatening prolaps of intraocular tissue. Preliminary experience revealed that intraoperative complications in these difficult situations are reduced. As this facilitates also the task of the anaesthesist this broadens our indications for complex intraocular surgery particularly in younger patients.
