Conditions

HEMODYNAMIC RESPONSETO LYRANGOSCOPY AND ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION

Brief summary

BLUNTING OF HEMODYNAMIC RESPONSE WILL BE OBSERVED IN PATIENTS NEBULISED WITH DEXMEDETOMIDINE AND NORMAL SALINE.

Detailed description

ONE GROUP OF PTS WILL BE NEBULISED WITH DEXMEDETOMIDINE AND OTHER WITH NORMAL SALINE AND WILL BE OBSERVED DURING AND AFTER INTUBATION FOR ATTENUATION OF HEMODYNAMIC RESPONSE FOR LYRANGOSCOPY AND ENDOTRACHEAL INTUBATION

Interventions

dexmeditomidine 1mcg/kg diluted in 5ml 0.9% sodium chloride, administered via nebulizer over 5 minutes, 30 minutes prior to anesthetic induction .

normal saline 5 ml administered via nebulizer over 5 minutes, 30 minutes prior to anesthetic induction.

DOUBLE (Subject, Outcomes Assessor)

Masking description

Participants were blinded to treatment allocation. Treatment was placed in sealed opaque envelopes and selected randomly. The outcome assessor who recorded blood pressure and heart rate was blinded to group allocation to minimize observer bias.

Intervention model description

Participants were randomly assigned to one of two parallel groups: Group A received nebulised dexmedetomidine 1 mcg/kg, and Group B received nebulised normal saline 5 ml. Both groups received intervention 30 minutes before induction of anesthesia.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
change in mean artirial pressure and heart rate after lyrangoscopy and intubationbaseline, 1 minute and 3 minute post intubationhemodynamic stress response measured as change in mean arterial pressure and heart rate from baseline. MAP and HR will be recorded at baseline T0, 1 minute post intubation T1 ans 3 minute post intubation T3. Significant stress response is defined as rise in MAP nad HR more than 10% of baseline at 3 minutes post intubation.
