Background: Clonidine has been shown to reduce perioperative circulatory instability. This
postoperative analgesic effect of clonidine was also known in previous studies. The aim of …

Background: Laparoscopy offers many benefits than conventional Cholecystectomy, but it
causes alteration of hemodynamic variables to some extent. The aim of this study is to …

Clonidine has anti-hypertensive properties and augments the effects of anaesthesia, hence
we considered it to be an ideal agent to contain the stress response to pneumoperitoneum …

Pneumoperitoneum required for laparoscopy results in pathophysiologic changes,
especially in the cardiovascular system. Clonidine, an alpha 2 agonist has been shown to …

Background: To investigate the clinical efficacy of oral clonidine premedication in anesthesia
and analgesia in patients undergoing laparoscopic cholecystectomy (LC). Methods: One …

Background: Laparoscopic cholecystectomy under general anesthesia induced
intraoperative hemodynamic responses which should be attenuated by appropriate …

Background: Clonidine diminishes stress response by reducing circulating catecholamines
and hence increases perioperative circulatory stability in patients undergoing laparoscopic …

Background: Clonidine has emerged as an attractive premedication desirable in
laparoscopic surgery wherein significant hemodynamic stress response is seen. The …

Background: Both magnesium and clonidine are known to inhibit catecholamine and
vasopressin release and attenuate hemodynamic response to pneumoperitoneum. This …
