Abstract:Background and Aim: Tracheal extubation is a crucial step of general anaesthesia which is associated with intense airway and hemodynamic responses secondary to activation of mechanoreceptors in larynx. The present study aims to compare the efficacy of intravenously administered dexmedetomidine and esmolol in attenuating the hemodynamic response to endotracheal extubation. Materials and Method: This prospective, randomized, double-blind study was conducted in 80 ASA I-II patients of 18-60 years undergoing elect… Show more
