Abstract
Clinical data of 69 patients due to undergo ECCE with PCIOL implantation were evaluated in a standardized fashion. The preliminary results show that the blood pressure measured preoperatively and intraoperatively necessitated antihypertensive therapy. The averaged systolic blood pressure in the ward was 147.2 .+-. 20.4 mm Hg; before retrobulbar anesthesia 159.9 .+-. 30.4 mm Hg; after retrobulbar anesthesia 172.6 .+-. 24.2 mm Hg; at the start of surgery 154.2 .+-. 18.4 mm Hg. Maximum intraoperative blood pressure was 156.2 .+-. 20.7 mm Hg; at the end of surgery it was 144.3 .+-. 19.5 mm Hg. In 12 patients (17%), systolic blood pressure higher than 200 mm Hg was measured after retrobulbar anesthesia. Antihypertensive therapy (nifedipine, nitroglycerin) was initiated in 44 patients (64%). These data support the recommendation that blood pressure should be monitored continuously both before and during the operation in order to minimize the rate of srugical and general complications.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
