The Increase of Intra-Abdominal Pressure Can Affect Intraocular Pressure

Table 2

Changes in intraocular pressure of the groups.

	IAP (mmHg)	Time 1	Time 2	Time 3
Group C ()	0^*	10.2 ± 1.4	16.2 ± 4.8	11.7 ± 1.8	NS
Group L ()	9	10.9 ± 1.6	16.8 ± 3.6	12.6 ± 2.2	NS
Group M ()	12	9.9 ± 1.5	17.1 ± 4.1	18.2 ± 3.1	0.018
Group H ()	15	10.3 ± 1.4	16.9 ± 3.8	19.1 ± 3.4	0.021

NS: not significant; IAP: intra-abdominal pressure. ^*Accepted value.
Data are presented as mean ± SD; time 1: 30 seconds before the intubation, time 2: 1 minute after the intubation, and time 3: 45 minutes after the insufflation.
