Effect of magnesium sulphate on haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation

Abstract :

Introduction: Any surgery under general anaesthesia is associated with rise in haemodynamic parameters during laryngoscopy and intubation. Magnesium Sulphate (MgSO4) is believed to attenuate this response and therefore can be used for the same. Materials and Method: 100 ASA I, II patients undergoing elective surgeries under general anaesthesia were randomly allocated into Study (MgSO4) group and Control group of 50 patients each. After taking the patient in before induction, patients were either given Inj. MgSO4 30 mg/kg or Normal saline I.V. after taking baseline parameters. Thereafter, H.R., Systolic B.P., Diastolic B.P. and MAP were noted till 30 min post intubation. Observation and Results: There was significant attenuation in haemodynamic parameters in study group as compared to control group without any adverse effects of the drug under study. Conclusion: We conclude that Inj. MgSO4 can be used for attenuating haemodynamic response during laryngoscopy and intubation in following dose without adverse effects.
