ABSTRACT
Background:
Sympathetic response associated with laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation is a potential cause for a number of complications especially in patients with cardio-vascular compromise. The aim of our study was to evaluate and study the efficiency of intravenous esmolol in the attenuation of hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation in normotensive individuals.Methods:
100 surgical patients of either sex of physical status ASA I/II were randomly divided into 2 groups. Group C (10 ml of 0.9% normal saline) and group E (Esmolol 100 mg IV) given 2 minutes before induction. Baseline parameters - heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and rate pressure product were noted at baseline level, just before induction, 1 min., 3 min., 5 min and 10 minutes after tracheal intubation.Results:
Intravenous esmolol showed statistically significant attenuation of hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation when compared with the control.Conclusion:
We conclude that esmolol in a dose of 100 mg given 2 minute before induction is highly effective in attenuation hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation.
