Effect of general anaesthesia on intraocular pressure in paediatric patients: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

Assessment of the impact of general anaesthetic agents on intraocular pressure (IOP) in children via systematic review.

Methods

Pubmed, Embase, and CENTRAL databases were systematically searched to identify randomised controlled trials, prospective, and interventional studies. The search included all studies through October 5, 2018 with no date or language restrictions. A linear mixed-effects regression analysis was performed to study the change in IOP after general anaesthesia (GA).

Results

The strategy identified 518 studies that met search criteria. Six studies (531 eyes) were included for quantitative synthesis. Seven categories of mixed and non-mixed induction and maintenance agents were compared. When assessing all agents utilising a model of mean IOP
