Abstract :

 Background:Lignocain spray is recommended for attenuation of the pressure response to laryngoscopy 

and intubation
Aims: The aim of the study to evaluate the efficacy of topical xylocard 2% for attenuation of the pressure response to 
laryngoscopy and intubation 
Settings and Design: Pilot study
Materials and Methods: In this study thirty patients of ASA I AND II requiring endotracheal intubation, for different 
surgical procedures enrolled.After induction with thiopentone and succinyl choline laryngoscopy done and epiglottis, 
posterior part of tongue,valeculae are sprayed with 2% xylocard.PR, SBP, DBP just before intubation, just after intubation, and from one min upto five mins after intubation noted and compared to the base line i.e.just before intubation.
Statistical Analysis:Mean and S.D. is calculated and paired t test applied to compare in between the groups.
Results: There is significant difference between just before intubation and just after intubation[ p<0.05] with respect to 
HR,SBP, DBP.There is significant rise in HR, SBP, DBP just after intubation.Then all parameters come near to base line 
i.e. just before intubation from first min to the fifth min of intubation.
Conclusion: Spraying the cords with 2% xylocard just after laryngoscopy is very good alternative without having any 
side effects for attenuation of the pressure response to laryngoscopy and intubation
