Effect of Inj. Dexmedetomidine and Inj. Clonidine on Haemodynamic Changes during Laryngoscopy &Tracheal Intubation: A Comparative Study
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Anesthesia and Analgesia - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 4
Abstract
Aim and Objectives: 1. To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine and clonidine on haemodynamic changes during Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. 2. To compare the effect of dexmedetomidine and clonidine on haemodynamic changes during Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. 3. To compare the side effects. Materials & Methods: After approval of the institutional ethical committee, this prospective observational study was conducted on 60 patients of ASA Grade I & II , undergoing elective surgeries under general anesthesia. Group A: Injection Dexmedetomidine 1mcg/kg diluted to 20ml with normal saline were given over 10 minutes. Group B: Injection. Clonidine 2mcg/kg diluted to 20ml with normal saline were given over 10 minutes. All patient received Injection Pentazocine 0.3mg/kg and were pre-oxygenated for 3minute Anaesthesia was induced with thiopantone sodium (5mg/kg intravenous) till loss of eyelashreflex over 30 second and mask ventilation was confirmed. Injection succhinylcholine 1.5mg/kg was given to facilitate laryngoscopy and intubation. anaesthesia was maintained with oxygen nitrous oxide, halothane with intermittent use of injection Atracurium and controlled ventilation. At the end of surgery the neuromuscular blockade was antagonized with injection Glycopyrolate (.01mg/kg) Intavenou. and injection Neostigmine (.05mg/kg) i.v. and patient were extubated. Result: Dexmedetomidine is more effective than Clonidine in attenuation of haemodynamic changes during laryngoscopy and intubation. Conclusion: Dexmedetomidine significantly attenuates the haemodynamic changes during laryngoscopy and intubation. Clonidine also significantly attenuates the haemodynamic changes during laryngoscopy and intubation.Thus we conclude that Dexmedetomidine is a better drug to attenuate the haemodynamic response during laryngoscopy and intubation.

Comparing Effects of Intravenous Esmolol and Diltiazem for Attenuatinghemodynamic Responses to Laryngoscopy and Intubation
Introduction: Laryngoscopy and intubation of trachea are integral part of general anesthesia which can trigger adverse hemodynamic responses. These are unpredictable reflex sympathetic stimulations that may cause tachyca...
Efficacy of Dexmedetomidine Compared to Clonidine as an Adjuvant to Ropivacaine in Ultrasound Guided Supraclavicular Brachial Plexus Block
Background: Regional block has evolved with passage of time from being a blind process to the use of ultrasound giving an “eye” to the process. Evolution of technology and pharmacology has helped anesthesiologist in many...
Right Ventricular Systolic Function in Off Pump Coronary Artery Bypass (OPCAB) and Its Measurement by Tricuspid Annular Plane Systolic Excursion
Background & Aim: Right ventricle function significantly decreases after coronary artery bypass surgery; as one of the likely causes, such a condition is attributed to the use of cardiopulmonary pump (CPB). Because nowad...
A Comparative Study of Butorphanol Versus Pethidine with Bupivacaine Heavy During Spinal Anaesthesia
Background: Management of postoperative pain is essential for the smooth recovery of the patients. Intrathecal opioids are commonly used adjuvants to bupivacaine heavy for improving the quality of spinal anaesthesia. The...
