ABSTRACT
Thirty adult patients were studied to evaluate the role of oral clonidine premedication on the dose requirement of intraoperative labetalol to produce induced hypotension during total intravenous anaesthesia [propofol I fentanyl] for middle ear microsurgery. Also studied was surgeon's satisfaction and quality of recovery. Patients with oral clonidine [4 micro g/kg] premedication [Group-II, n-15] demonstrated insignificant [p>0.05] pressor response to laryngoscopy intubation. Group II patients needed a mean of only 4.2 mg labetalol to keep the intraoperative mean arterial pressure between 60-75 mmHg as compared to 25.0 mg required in the unpremedicated group [Group I, n-15]. Surgeon's satisfaction with the operative field was similar in both the groups. However recovery time was significantly prolonged in patients receiving oral clonidine premedication
