Ocular Perfusion Pressure During Pars Plana Vitrectomy: A Pilot Study [Retina]

Conclusions.
The MOPP may decrease significantly in course of PPV, acutely and for longer time. Surgical maneuvers, including silicone oil removal and combined phacoemulsification, pose a higher risk for MOPP reduction. Discretion should be exercised while administering deep sedation, since it may further lower MOPP through undue blood pressure reduction.
