Using three decades of observational data, we investigated whether or not individual strabismus patients are prone to oculocardiac reflex.Patients and Methods: All patients undergoing strabismus surgery from 1992 to 2019 had deliberate 10-second, 200-gram square-wave tension on extraocular rectus muscles with anesthetic variables recorded. OCR was defined as the maximally tension-altered heart rate as a percent of stable baseline heart rate.Results: OCR was compared in 2532 original cases with 323 re-operations. The 169 cases that used anticholinergics (99% OCR) were excluded from the analysis. The median OCR, a 15% drop, was found to be 85% (95% CI 39%, 102%,; range 5– 151%). Factors that showed a significant effect on the OCR were the type of EOM with lateral rectus least (Kruskal–Wallis X2(3)=8, p< 0.05), and adults had less OCR compared to the children (X2(2)=105, p< 0.01). Factors that showed an augmenting effect on the OCR were peri-operative opioids (X2(6)=62, p< 0.01) and Caucasian race (X2(4)=12, p< 0.02). Gender and iris color were not found to have an impact on OCR. Re-operations and first-degree relatives did not differ from age-matched controls, but EOM- and opioid-adjusted re-operations correlated with their initial cases (r=0.37).Conclusion: We confirmed the previously published blocking effect of atropine, augmenting impact of opioids, and an inverse relationship of age on OCR. There was a weak proclivity for individuals to be prone to OCR. We found an impact of race with Caucasians having more OCR.Keywords: trigemino-vagal reflex, re-operation, race, opioid, strabismus surgery, bradycardiaArnold RWRinner ARArnold AWBeerle BJDove Medical Pressarticletrigemino-vagal reflexreoperationraceopioidstrabismus surgerybradycardiaOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 14, Pp 4253-4261 (2020)
