Not yet recruiting
Conditions
patients undergoing surgery under general anaesthesia
Registration Number
CTRI/2018/01/011470
Lead Sponsor
Head of the department
Brief Summary

Aim

To study the effect of atropine in suppressing the negative haemodynamic effects of induction agents with propofol and fentanyl during general anaesthesia

Materials and methodology

patients posted for elective surgery are selected

divided into two groups

group A receiving atropine 0.6mg/ml 1cc

group S receiving saline 1cc

Intervention

All patients will be kept on NPO status for 8 hrs before surgery

Patients will be randomized into two groups using closed envelope technique

On arrival to operation theatre ECG NIBP SPO2 will be connected

IV line with 18G cannula will be secured in any of the preipheral veins of upper limbs

Infusion of 500 ml crystalloid will be completed before induction of anaesthesia

Pateints will be premedicated with inj.midaz 1mg

Patients will be preoxygenated with 3 litres of o2 through face mask

Atropine or saline will be given according to the group assigned

Patients will be induce with Propofol 100mg and fentanyl 100mcg

Patients will be ventilated at a tidal volume of 8ml/kg with 4 litres o2 for 5 mins after administration of atracurium 0.5mg/kg

Then patients will be intubated with appropriate size cuffed ET tube

Baseline BP HR MAP will be recorded

All the above will be monitored every minute till 15 mins after induction.
