Brief Summary

***Background and objectives:***Laryngoscopy and intubation can cause hemodynamicresponse. Various medications may be employed to control that response. In thisstudy, we aim to compare the effects of dexmedetomidine, esmolol and esmololwith dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic response.

 ***Methods:***Hundredand twenty elective surgery patients in need of endotracheal intubation, who wereAmerican Society of Anesthesiology I - II group and ages between 21 and 65years were included in a prospective, randomized, double-blind study. Systolic,diastolic, mean arterial & pulmonary pressures, heart rates, at the time ofadmittance to the operation room were recorded as basal measurements. Thepatients were randomized into four groups: Group I (*n* = 30) received 1 µg/kgdexmedetomidine, Group II (*n* = 30) received 2 mg/kg esmolol, Group III (*n*= 30) received 0.5 µg/kg dexmedetomidine plus 1 mg/kg esmolol and Group IV (*n*= 30) received 1µg/kg dexmedetomidine plus 2mg/kg esmolol with infusionover a period of 10 min before induction. The patients were intubated 2 min afterinduction. Systolic, diastolic, mean arterial & pulmonary pressures andheart rates were measured at base line, 10 minutes after drug, 2 min afterinduction before intubation and 1, 3, 5, min after intubation.
