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

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 …

LAPAROSCOPIC CHOLECYSTECTOMY: EFFECT OF CLONIDINE PREMEDICATION Mrinmoy …

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

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

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

This study was designed to evaluate the dose-response effects of different doses of
clonidine on the stress response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. In a …

Background: Pneumoperitoneum in laparoscopic procedures is associated with
hemodynamic response, due to the release of catecholamines and vasopressin. Magnesium …
