Attenuation of hemodynamic responses to endotracheal intubation: Comparison of clonidine, esmolol, lignocaine and placebo
Journal Title: Medpulse International Journal of Anesthesiology - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 2
Abstract
Background: The laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation produce sympathoadrenal responses that alter in systemic arterial blood pressure, heart rate and cardiac rhythm. It leads to little consequences in healthy individuals, but patients with hypertension, coronary artery diseases, cerebrovascular diseases, intracranial pathology and hyperactive airways produce morbidity and mortality. Aim: To compare the efficacy of intravenous clonidine, esmolol, lignocaine, and placebo in attenuating the hemodynamic stress responses to laryngoscopy and intubation. Methods: 120 patients of ASA I and II belonging to the age group of 15 to 60 years of both genders were divided into groups. Group C (clonidine 2 mcg/kg) – 30 patients were given intravenous clonidine 2 mcg/kg 2 minutes before induction. Group E (esmolol 1mg/kg) --30 patients were given intravenous clonidine 1 mg/kg 2 minutes before induction. Group L (lignocaine 1.5mg/kg) – 30 patients were given intravenous lignocaine 1.5mg/kg 2 minutes before induction. Group P (placebo- normal saline) –30 patients were given normal saline 2 minutes before induction. Results: Patients in group C showed the maximum attenuation of both heart rate and blood pressure following endotracheal intubation. Patients in group L showed no significant difference from group P in attenuating circulatory responses, and both lignocaine and placebo were ineffective. No complications reported. Conclusion: IV clonidine in blunting the hemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and intubation, followed by esmolol, lignocaine, and placebo were ineffective in blunting the response.

A randomized, prospective, comparative study to evaluate the motor blockade properties of 3ml of 0.5% isobaric levobupivacaine and 3ml of 0.5% isobaric ropivacaine for spinal anaesthesia in patients undergoing elective lower limb orthopaedic surgeries
Background: Levobupivacaine is S (-) enantiomer of bupivacaine. It is somewhat less cardiotoxic than the racemic bupivacaine. It seems to be an attractive alternative to Bupivacaine. Ropivacaine is a long acting regional...

Comparative study on the effect of addition of potassium chloride to bupivacaine on the onset time and duration of inter scalene block
Background: The interscalene block is a more established technique and has been used routinely for shoulder surgery. It is also more associated with well known, but short-lived, side effects than the supraclavicular tech...
Comparative evaluation of the effect of intrathecal ketamine and fentanyl added to bupivacaine in elective hernia repair surgeries
Background: Addition of adjuvants in spinal anaesthesia spares the local anaesthetic dose and produces good postoperative analgesia. Aim: To compare the duration of prolongation of postoperative analgesia between Ketamin...
