Abstract

In 80 patients undergoing surgery for retinal detachment, cardiac rhythm was observed to improve some means of prevention from consequences of oculocardiac reflex. The injection of a parasympatholytic agent shown its effectiveness; heavy morphinic analgesia prevented from cardiac disturbances induced by scleral cryoapplication; retrobulbar block had no effect.
