Abstract

We selected 123 cases of general anesthesia and 227 cases of local anesthesia in ophthalmic surgery, which were divided into three age groups, and checked pulse rate changes in various states: before anesthesia, during operation, and after operation. The results were as follows; 1) Marked decrease was seen in pulse rate during operation in all groups. 2) Pulse rate decrease was seen in 72,4 of all cases during operation, compared with before operation. 3) They revealed a marked pulse rate decrease in general and regional anesthesia, 874J and 68% respectively. 4) Children and the elderly group showed a more marked pulse rate decrease than the adult group during operation. 5) Extraocular operation showed pulse rate decrease more markedly than in ocular procedures.
