Anaesthesia of the ophthalmic patient

Anaesthetising ophthalmic patients presents unique challenges that demand careful planning and precision. In this session, we’ll explore the key considerations for anaesthesia in patients with ocular disease, including how to choose and tailor anaesthetic protocols for various ophthalmic pathologies.  You’ll learn which anaesthetic and analgesic agents are most suitable, how to avoid complications related to intraocular pressure and oculocardiac reflexes, and how to use peripheral neuromuscular blocking agents effectively with emphasis on monitoring and recovery.

By the end of this webinar, you’ll have practical guidance to deliver safe, smooth, and well-balanced anaesthesia for your ophthalmic patients, from induction through recovery.
