Abstract :

Background and Aim:- Laryngoscopy and intubation induce exaggerated haemodynamic response. These maneuversprovoke marked sympatho-adrenal response leading to tachycardia and rise in blood pressure but these effects are shortlasting.Dexmedetomidine aselective α-2 agonistis being widely used to mitigate response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine1μgm/ kg given over 10minutes on laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. Materials and Methods:- This prospective comparative study was conducted in GMC Bhopal after Institute ethics committee approval, and included 60 patients of 20-50 years belonging to ASA I&II, undergoing various surgeries under general anaesthesia Patients were enrolled in to two groups consisting 30 patients each - Group (D) Dexmedetomidine Group, Group (S) Saline Group. Data were collected and presented as Mean�SD. Analysis with IBM statistics SPSS software was done. Unpaired t-test was applied for analysis of data. p-valueless than 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results Groups were comparable for their demographic profile. Difference in HR, SBP,DBP,MAP, between both the groups were observed at all time period after tracheal intubation, Heart rate gradually declined in group D and was lower than the base line value at 3,6,10 min. of observation while the heart rate remained above baseline at all time- intervals in control group, Variations in MAP�s was parallel to the magnitude of change of systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Recordings of Mean blood pressure were higher than baseline in both groups after intubation but were less than that of baseline in groupDat different time intervals after intubation whereas MAP remained higher than baseline in control group. Dexmedetomidinesignificantly attenuates the haemodynamic changes during laryngoscopy and intubation. Conclusion The cardiovascular responses triggered by laryngoscopy and intubationwere suppressed effectively by 1μgm/ kg Dexmedetomidine butcomplete obtundation was not possible
