A study on 100 ASA Gr I-II patients between 18 and 65 years of age was conducted to
compare effectiveness of oral clonidine as a premedicant and also for attenuation of …

Background In many studies investigating measures to attenuate the hemodynamic and
humoral stress response during induction of anaesthesia, primary attention was paid to the …

Results: Analysis revealed that the heart rate, systolic, diastolic and mean arterial blood
pressure significantly differed between groups (p< 0.001, p= 0.003, p< 0.001, p< 0.001 …

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 …

Aim This study was designed to compare efficacy and safety of oral clonidine and oral
pregabalin premedication to attenuate stress response in patients undergoing laparoscopic …

Methods: In a prospective, randomized, double-blind study, 80 patients scheduled for
elective total thyroidectomy were randomized to receive either 0.2 mg Clonidine (n= 40) or a …

In previous studies, we have shown that ethanol counteracts the hypotensive and
sympathoinhibitory effects of clonidine in conscious rats but enhances these responses in α …

The effects of chronic ethanol administration on the acute hemodynamic effects of clonidine
were investigated in conscious radiotelemetered spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs) …

Background: During the administration of general anesthesia, direct laryngoscopy and
endotracheal intubation cause an increase in heart rate, arterial pressure, and dysrhythmias …

Our previous findings have shown that ethanol attenuates the decreases in plasma
norepinephrine (NE) levels, and blood pressure elicited by centrally acting antihypertensive …
