Abstract:

Background: Conduct of general anesthesia requires an ideal premedication and induction agent. Adequate premedication blunts the laryngoscopy and intubation response efectively, which is required in specific groups of people like cardiac patients, hypertensive patients and patients with raised intracranial tension. Our study examines the efectiveness of two drugs, fentanyl and dexmedetomidine in blunting these responses. Objectives: Dexmedetomidine and fentanyl are known for their analgesic and sedative properties. However, there are not suficient data comparing the two drugs as premedication agents .In the present study we compared the hemodynamic effects of a single pre induction dose of fentanyl and dexmedetomidine on laryngoscopy and intubation. Methodology: Sixty ASA I-II patients were randomized into two groups; Group D (dexmedetomidine group) received 1 µg/kg dexmedetomidine and Group F (fentanyl group) received 2 µg/kg fentanyl intravenously over ten min. The parameters measured included mean arterial pressure, heart rate, systolic and diastolic blood pressure at specified time intervals. The statistical methods used in this study were chi square test and Students unpaired “t” test. Results: Dexmedetomidine was found superior to fentanyl in blunting the cardiovascular response to laryngoscopy and intubation. There was statistically significant diference in heart rate in dexmedetomidine group compared to fentanyl group. The heart rate in group D was 62 ± 47 per min and in group F 76 ± 23 per min, ten minutes post drug administration. Statistically significant diferences were also noted in heart rate within one minute after laryngoscopy with Group D (82 ± 13) having a lower value compared to group F (90 ± 50) and also at ten minutes after laryngoscopy and intubation, Group D (63.1 ± 8.70 per min) and Group F (75.07 ± 13.23 per min). Three patients in Group D had bradycardia and had to be supplemented with 0.6 mg atropine. There was no tsatistically significant diferences in mean arterial pressure, systolic and diastolic blood pressures. Conclusion: We conclude that dexmedetomidine (1 µg/kg) is superior to fentanyl (2 µg/kg) as premedication agent in supressing cardiovascular response to laryngoscopy and intubation.
