Evaluation of Althesin in open eyeball surgery is reported. The anaesthetic gave surgically very useful and stable hypotonia, comparable with that offered by pentothal. Its is felt that steroid anaesthesia is excellent for surgical purposes and that Althesin is ideal on account of its overall features: lack of toxicity, high therapeutic index, tranquil induction, rapid return to consciousness, excellent quality, absence of carryover effects, and easy regulation. It is, moreover, rarely responsible for coughing and vomiting. It is preferable in eye surgery to "heavy" anaesthetics, such as barbiturates and volatile halogenates, particularly in the aged.
本文报道了在开放性眼球手术中对阿尔泰辛（Althesin）的评估。该麻醉剂产生了在手术中非常有用且稳定的低眼压，与喷妥撒（戊硫代巴比妥）所提供的效果相当。人们认为类固醇麻醉对于手术目的而言非常出色，并且由于阿尔泰辛的整体特性：无毒性、高治疗指数、诱导平稳、苏醒迅速、质量优异、无残留效应且易于调节，它是理想的麻醉剂。此外，它很少引起咳嗽和呕吐。在眼科手术中，它比“强效”麻醉剂，如巴比妥类和挥发性卤化物更可取，尤其对于老年人。
