Abstract:
The oculocardiac reflex (OCR) occurs in up to 90% of ophthalmological surgeries,while most of the clinicians consider the performance of OCR is just bradycardia and arrhythmia and therefore ignore other system manifestation such as oculorespiratory reflex( ORR) and oculo-emetic reflex(OER),and so on.OCR appears not only in ophthalmological surgeries,and it also occurs during the endoscopic sinus surgery.A unstable bradycardia associated with stimulation of the mandibular division of cranial nerve V during trigeminal neuralgia pain treatment is also reported.This phenomenon is mostly introduced only as clinical manifestations.Therefore,it is helpful for us to understand the essential characteristic of OCR.The embryonic,anatomy,physiology and electrophysiology were reviewed in this article and thought to term it as oculovagal reflex is more comprehensive.
