  Objectives: To study the effect of lidocaine instillation into endotracheal tube before extubation on intraocular pressure (IOP) and hemodynamics. Patients and methods: 60 patients, (ASA) I-II, ages between 18 to 40 years were scheduled for elective unilateral ocular surgery (cataract, squint and ptosis). Patients were randomly classified into two groups of 30 patients each: lidocaine group; received 1 mg/kg lidocaine into the endotracheal tube before extubation, and control group; received saline into the endotracheal tube. IOP, systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP) and heart rate (HR) were all measured before and after extubation. Results: a significant increase of IOP in control group at 2, 5 and 10 minutes after extubation (P<0.01) when compared to baseline value (2 min. before extuba.. View More»
