title: [Propofol for the induction and maintenance of anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery].
abstract: After brief mention of the chemical and pharmacodynamic properties of diisopropylphenol, personal experience on the administration of propofol for induction and maintenance of anaesthesia for ophthalmic surgery is reported. The results have shown that induction of anaesthesia by propofol injection is associated with a significant and useful reduction of IOP more than TPS induction. Continuous infusion of Diprivan provides satisfactory conditions for intraocular surgery and could be a real choice to thiopentone combined with enflurane.
