The Tulip’s benefits are clearer in ophthalmic surgery as the Patient no longer requires intubation or neuromuscular paralysis. This translates into a rapid induction and recovery anaesthetic which also reduces the coughing and straining experienced upon recovery as the Patient self-extubates when fully awake and usually requires little suctioning, which reduces stimulation still further.
