DE LA LASTRA RODRIGUEZ, Joaquín L. et al. Strabismus in the child and anesthesia  . Rev Cubana Oftalmol [online]. 2001, vol.14, n.1, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1561-3070.

The anesthetic management of 41 children with strabismus treated with general anesthesia is analyzed. 37 of them were administered intratracheal anesthesia for surgical correction and the other 4 intravenous anesthesia for the injection of an intraocular microdose of botulinum toxin A (TBX). Important aspects of anesthesiologic interest as the clinical implications that may result from the anesthetic management, the special care required by these patients, the importance of the preoperative evaluation that takes into account aspects of special interest, of the authors' interest and others, are stressed . There were no transoperative complications. Vomiting was the postoperative complication observed in 6 patients and only one of those who underwent surgery required besides the maintenance of an intravenous hydration the administration of a dose of dimenhydrinate, an antihistamine drug of strong antiemetic action. The anesthetic management for the intraocular injection of a microdose of TBX A had good results by the intravenous administration of Atropine, Diazepam and Ketamine Hydrochloride.
