title: [General anesthesia in eye operations (author's transl)].
abstract: This retrospective study reports on ten years' experience of general anesthesia in ophthalmosurgery (4080 cases) at the General Hospital in Linz, Austria. The majority of patients in ophthalmosurgery are infants, children and geriatric patients confronting the anesthesiologist with specific problems. Anesthesiologic techniques and complications are discussed. Cooperation and continuous qualified anesthesiologic care are essential for good results. In bulb-opening procedures Valium-Neuroleptanalgesia is preferred, as it involves less stress, especially for the geriatric patient, and insures optimal operating conditions for the ophthalmologist. In the Linz General Hospital general anesthesia has become the method of choice in eye surgery.
