“…Pregabalin has analgesic, anticonvulsant, and anxiolytic effects [5,6]. Several studies have demonstrated the efficacy of oral pregabalin on post-operative analgesia and reduction of parenteral analgesics [7][8][9]. Oral pregabalin attenuates pressor response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation [10,11].…”

Objectives: The airway instrumentation of direct laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation is powerful noxious stimuli that should be attenuated by appropriate premedication, smooth induction, and rapid intubation. This study compared the efficacy intravenous dexmedetomidine and oral pregabalin premedication for attenuation of hemodynamic pressor response to laryngoscopy and intubation.Methods: A total of 60 patients of age group 20-50 years scheduled for elective surgeries under general anesthesia with American Society of Anesthesiologists physical Status I and II were divided into two groups each of 30. Group D received intravenous dexmedetomidine 1 mcg/kg over 10 minutes before induction, and Group P received oral pregabalin 150 mg 1 hr before intubation. Parameters observed were heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) at baseline, after induction, immediately after intubation and then 5, 10, 15, and 30 minutes thereafter.Results: Attenuation of HR in group dexmedetomidine (78.12±10.0/minutes) immediately after intubation was statistically significant than group pregabalin (89.76±10.45/minutes). MAP significantly (p<0.05) decreased after intubation with dexmedetomidine. As compared to oral pregabalin, attenuation of HR and MAP was statistically significant till 30 minutes after intubation with intravenous dexmedetomidine. Conclusion:Intravenous dexmedetomidine 1 µg/kg is more effective than oral pregabalin 150 mg in attenuating hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and orotracheal intubation.

“…Durkin et al in their review, had stated that pregabalin is a safe and effective medication that might benefit the surgery involving more neuropathic-type acute pain than acute inflammatory pain, resulting in a decrease in the perioperative opioid consumption [4]. It was also suggested in another recent review that was published when our study was near complete, that pain scores at 24 h following surgery were affected 1 % by the pregabalin dose and 32 % by the surgical type-again lending credence that more neuropathic and painful surgery may allow for a greater pregabalin effect [16].…”

Background: Laryngoscopy and intubation may cause undesirable increase in blood pressure and heart rate. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of Pregabalin premedication on hemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and intubation. Methods: Sixty ASA physical status I or II patients undergoing elective surgery under general anesthesia were randomly allocated into two equal groups who received either oral Pregabalin 150 mg (Group PB)or placebo (Group PL)1 hour prior to surgery. Heart rate, Systolic, Diastolic and Mean arterial blood pressures were recorded preoperative, at laryngoscopy and 0,1,3,5 and 10 minutes after tracheal intubation. Results: Demographic data and base-line values for Heart rate, Systolic, Diastolic and Mean arterial blood pressures were comparable between groups. During laryngoscopy and intubation there was significant attenuation of SBP, DBP and MBP in PB group as compared to PL group. Although increase in heart rate was less in pregabalin group during laryngoscopy and intubation but it was not statistically significant. Conclusion:In the present study design, oral Pregabalin premedication at a dose of 150 mg one hour prior to surgery attenuates pressor response associated with laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation but not the tachycardia significantly.
