A study of 80 patients with strabismus undergoing correctional surgery under general anaesthesia was done. A comparison was made with regards to the incidence of oculocardiac reflex between patients premedicated with intramuscular atropine 0.015 mg/kg and non-premedicated patients. We found that premedication with atropine reduces the incidence and the morbidity of the oculocardiac reflex.
