Abstract :

Aims and objectives : To compare the efficacy of adding iv Dexmedetomidine 0.5μgm/kg or intravenous clonidine 3μgm/kg to iv lignocaine 1.5mg/kg for attenuating increase in HR, SBP,DBP and MAP and during laryngoscopy and intubation under general anaesthesia and to study their side effects. Material &Methods :60 normotensive patients scheduled for elective surgical procedures were randomly divided into three groups of 20 each. All patients were premedicated with glyopyrrolate 0.2mg i.v., tramadol 3mg /kg along with study drug either clonidine 3μgm / kg(CL) or dexmedetomidine 0.5 μgm/kg (DL) or normal saline (NL) according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria of study. All patients were induced with thiopentone 5 mg/kg i.v preservative free lignoaine 1.5mg i.v and succinylcholine 1.5mg/kg i.v and laryngoscopy and intubation was done with appropriate sized endotracheal tube. HR, systolic, diastolic blood pressure were recorded before induction, postintubation, 1,3,5, and 10 minutes after laryngoscopy. Conclusions : Dexmedetomidine + lignocaine combination produced better attenuation of tachycardia response to laryngoscopy and intubation at first minute.
