Brief Summary

"Attenuation of pressor response to

laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation in adult patients with intravenous

Dexmedetomidine†was carried out at tertiary center . 100 patients scheduled for

various elective surgical procedures belonging to ASA class I and II, in the age group

of 18 to 60 years were included in the study. The patients with hypertension, difficult

airway, obesity and any other systemic disorders were excluded from the study. The

study population was divided randomly into two groups of 50 each.

Group 1 (Dexmedetomidine) patients received IV Dexmedetomidine 1 microgram /kg

in 100ml normal saline infused over 10 min before induction

Group 2 (Saline) patients received 100 ml normal saline infused over 10 min before

induction.

All patients were Premedicated with Inj. Glycopyrrolate 0.004mg/kg, Inj.

Ondansetron 0.08mg/kg, Inj. Ranitidine 50 mg was given intravenously. Inj.

Pentazocine 0.5mg/kg and Inj. Midazolam 0.03 mg/kg were administered IV slowly.

Anaesthesia was induced with a 1% (w/v) solution of propofol 2mg/kg injected at a

rate of approximately 10mg/sec, the endpoint being the loss of the eyelash reflex.

after successful trial ventilation scholine 1.5 mg/kg was given to facilitate

laryngoscopy and intubation.

After Laryngoscopy and intubation the HR, SBP, DBP and MAP were recorded at 0

min, 5 and 10 min after intubation.
