Comparative Study of the Effects of Gabapentin and Esmolol on Hemodynamic Response to Laryngoscopy and Intubation
Journal Title: International Journal of Anesthesiology & Research (IJAR) - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
The suppression of neurovegetative response to laryngoscopy and intubation has been tried out using several pharmacological agents, such as opioids, local anaesthetics, β-blockers and α2 agonists. Gabapentin an anticonvulsant, while esmolol is a cardioselective β1 blocker and a class II antiarrhythmic, they have shown to attenuate pressor response to direct laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation individually. Given these variable characteristics of two drugs, the present study, a prospective randomized double blind aimed to compare their efficacy against haemodynamic response during intubation and laryngoscopy.
