Abstract EN

Bacground.

To investigate the anesthetic management in premature infants with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treated with intravitreal bevacizumab (IVB) injections.

Methods.

A retrospective chart review was performed for the patients with ROP who had IVB injection.

Clinical characteristics, demographic variables, anesthetic medications, operation techniques, time intervals, and complications were recorded.

Results.

Sixty-six eyes of 33 patients (23 males, 10 females) with type 1 ROP who were treated with IVB were included.

A total of 66 anesthetic applications were performed.

Mean gestational age at birth was 28.3 weeks (range 25–33).

Mean birth weight was 1300 g (range 600–1850).

Serious ocular and systemic complications were not observed in any infant.

Conclusion.

Inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane during IVB treatment in premature infants with ROP may be appropriate for anesthetic management.
