Randomized Controlled TrialThe effect of different doses of ketamine on intraocular pressure in anesthetized children.
When used for induction of anesthesia, ketamine usually increases intraocular pressure (IOP). However, the effect of low doses of ketamine, which are used for parental separation in children, is unknown. We studied the effect of two different doses of ketamine on IOP in anesthetized children. ⋯ In children anesthetized with halothane, ketamine had a dose-dependent effect on IOP, with 6 mg/kg of the drug causing a small increase in IOP at 5 to 10 minutes and 3 mg/kg not altering the IOP. The higher dose of ketamine also was associated with an increased incidence of postoperative complications.
