SummaryBackground and objective: We have compared the effects of gabapentin on arterial
pressure and heart rate at induction of anaesthesia and tracheal intubation in a randomized …

Background. Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation increase blood pressure and heart rate
(HR). The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of gabapentin when given …

Background: Laryngoscopy and intubation evokes a transient but marked sympathetic
response manifesting as increase in heart rate, blood pressure & arrhythmias. We …

Purpose Endotracheal intubation is the gold standard for securing the airway before surgery.
Nevertheless, this procedure can produce an activation of the sympathetic nervous system …

Background: Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation may cause undesirable increases in
blood pressure, heart rate (HR) and intraocular pressure (IOP). Gabapentin has been used …

BACKGROUND: We carried out this study to compare the efficacy of oral gabapentin and
clonidine premedication for controlling the pressor responses to laryngoscopy and tracheal …

Background: We compared the effects of oral clonidine and gabapentin as premedicant in
obtunding hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation in normotensive patients …

Methods: Ninety adult patients between 18 and 60 years are enrolled in the study. Patients
with American Society of Anesthesiologists Grade-I and Grade-II are included which are …

Background: Carbon dioxide pneumoperitoneum for laparoscopic surgery increases arterial
pressures, heart rate, and systemic vascular resistance. In this randomized double-blind …

Objective: Pregabalin, like gabapentin, is an amino acid derivative of gamma-amino butyric
acid and is being used exclusively in the treatment of neuropathic pain besides as an …
