Abstract


Hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation is very noxious, it may prove fatal in patients of
coronary artery disease, in patients with less cerebral compliance. Alpha 2 receptor agonist, Dexmedetomidine attenuates
the hemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and intubation, in different doses. In which 0.6 microgram/kg dose of dexmedetomidine compared to
1 microgram/kg provides better attenuation of hemodynamic responses.
