眼科手術に於ける麻酔（局所麻酔）

Local Anesthesia in Ophthalmology

　眼科領域に於ては，幼児・極めて神経質な患者特殊なる手術等の場合を除いて，通常は局所麻酔によつて手術が行われている。従つて眼科手術に於ける局所麻酔の価値は，極めて大きいと言えるが，その方法については，一般によく知られている処である。此処では比較的新しい話題について，若干述べたいと思う。

The authors described the recent advances of local anesthesie in ophthalmology, which were summerized as follows:

1) Noblon and sedes were excellent as preanesthetic medication of ophthalmic surgery.

2) Some new local anesthetic agents, such as calocain, buthylcain (tetracaine), cornecain, onocain, xylocaine et al, when administered conbined with new vasoconstrictors, privina, nor-adrenalin and nabel, produced more satisfactory effects than cocain with epinephrin and caused no undisirable side reactions.

3) Good akinesia of the orbicularis was obtained by Atkinson's method.
