A Comparison Between the Effects of Single-Dose Oral Gabapentin and Oral Clonidine on Hemodynamic Parameters in Laparoscopic Surgeries: A Randomized Controlled Trial
Abstract:Background and objectiveLaparoscopic surgeries can result in exaggerated sympathetic responses due to pneumoperitoneum. Many drugs including clonidine and gabapentin have been evaluated to attenuate the hemodynamic response to abdominal insufflation. In light of this, this study was conducted to compare the effects of preoperative administration of oral gabapentin with those of clonidine on intraoperative hemodynamic parameters in patients undergoing laparoscopic surgeries.
