RESUMO
The present study compares the effects of dexmedetomidine and esmolol on cardiovascular responseoccurring due to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. A randomised controlled study was carried outon 90 healthy adult patients (ASA I and ASA II) under general anaesthesia. Patients were randomlyallocated into two groups i.e group E and group D. Group D received dexmedetomidine 0.6 µg/kg andgroup E received esmolol 1 mg/kg. Heart rate, systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure wererecorded at baseline, at induction and at 1, 3, 5 and 10 minutes after intubation. This study showed thatdexmedetomidine (0.6 µg/kg) was more effective than esmolol (1mg/kg) for attenuating the cardiovascularresponse to laryngoscopy and intubation
