Abstract :

Background: Prevention of stress injury by maintaining stable haemodynamic pressure is the corner stone of anaesthesia management. Fentanyl, Morphine and Pethidene are the most common agent used for attenuation of presser response in healthy patients during intubation. Butorphanol is a drug having cardiac stable with minimal respiratory effects which has not been studied as premedication drug. Methods: Three groups A, B and C received either Morphine 0.1mg/kg, Pethidene 0.5mg/kg or Butorphanol 35- 40 �gm/kg for induction respectively. Various haemodynamic parameters were recorded at baseline than 1, 5 and 10 minute post intubation. Results: The haemodynamic parameters were higher in immediate post intubation period in A and B groups. No difference seen in postoperative complication among three groups Conclusion: Butorphanol confers better haemodynamic stability as compared to conventional premedication drugs for intubation.
