Comparison of enflurane and halothane in hypotensive eye surgery . Thirty patients undergoing elective eye surgery had anaesthesia induced with sodium thiopentone , suxamethonium and d-tubocurarine chloride . Patients were ventilated with nitrous oxide , oxygen and either halothane or enflurane . The volatile agents were used to decrease the systolic blood pressure to 80 mmHg . The volatile agent concentration in the blood was measured at 30 min intervals . Both agents were effective in producing hypotension , but enflurane was the more potent hypotensive agent in terms of MAC equivalents . There was no significant differences between the agents with respect to speed of recovery .
