The authors have compared intraocular pressure in during induction and intubation mode. All measures were made with an aplanation tonometer (Schiotz), before induction, after induction, and immediately after intubation. Both NNLA and propofol induced an important decrease of the IOP, more with propofol (45.6%) than with NLA (28.1%). It increased again during intubation, but less with propofol (-26.8%) than with NLA (+9%).
