Sufentanil or clonidine for blunting the increase in intraocular pressure during rapid-sequence induction

Abstract

Sufentanil is effective in blunting the increase in intraocular pressure caused by rapid-sequence induction with succinylcholine, while clonidine did not seem to have any effect in intraocular pressures just before (t1) and just after (t2) intubation.
