Full-field electroretinograms during general anesthesia in normal children compared to examination with topical anesthesia

Acta Ophthalmol (Copenh). 1993 Aug;71(4):491-5. doi: 10.1111/j.1755-3768.1993.tb04624.x.

Abstract

Full-field electroretinograms were obtained from 20 normal children during general anesthesia and compared with electroretinograms obtained with topical anesthesia. Disoprofol and fentanyl induced a reduction in the b-wave amplitudes and an increase in the cone b-wave implicit time, but the changes were small and fall within the range limits seen with topical anesthesia (i.e., average +/- 2 SD).
