Brief Summary

Tracheal intubation is a time tested method to achieve the airway control in anaesthesia practice and resuscitation. Tracheal intubation is one the important techniques during anaesthesia to secure patient airway. However, tracheal intubation and extubation during anaesthesia may be associated with significant risks. Airway control with tracheal intubation during general anaesthesia can be associated with increasing in Intraocular pressure (IOP) due to an increase in blood pressure and blood flow to the eye1.However, there is paucity of information on how does xylocaine blunt the intraocular pressure (IOP) responses during intubation. This study was designed to find the effect of intravenous xylocaine on intraocular pressure(IOP) responses during intubation.
