Abstract Background: Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation increase the plasma concentration of catecholamines due to sympathetic stimulation which can result in tachycardia and hypertension in most of the individuals Aims and Objectives : to study of Dexmedetomidine versus lignocaine used for laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation with respect to Blood pressure changes at tertiary health care centre. Methodology: This was prospective randomized single blind control study carried out in the department of Anesthesia of MIMSR medical college, Latur during the two year period i.e. September 2013 to September 2015 in 80 patients. The patients were divided into Group L- patients receiving i.v. 2 % 1.5 ml/kg lignocaine (preservative free) 3 minute before laryngoscopy. Group D- Patients receiving i.v. dexmedetomide (0.6mcg/kg) 10 minutes before laryngoscopy. The statistical analysis was done by unpaired t-test and calculated by SPSS 19 version. Result: In our study we have seen that Baseline parameters like Systolic Blood pressure, Diastolic Blood pressure, Mean Arterial Pressure were comparable to each other (t=0.15,0.88,NS),(t=0.76,0.76,NS), (t=0.96,0.96,NS) respectively. Systolic Blood pressure was at Baseline (15 min before induction) (t=0.15,0.88,NS); Immediately after induction (t=0.85, 0.4, NS); During intubation (0 minute)(t=4.43,p<0.001,S); 1 minute post intubation (t=2.92, p<0.004,S); 2 minute post intubation (t=2.41p<0.02,S); 3 minute post intubation (t=2.39,p<0.02,S), 4 minute post intubation(t=1.41,0.16,NS);5 minute post intubation(t=0.38,p<0.7,NS); 10 minute post intubation (t=0.73,p<0.47,NS)Diastolic Blood pressure was at Baseline (15 min before induction) (t=0.3,p>0.76,NS); Immediately after induction (t=6.21,p<0.001,S); During intubation (0 minute)(t=8.31,p<0.001,S);1 minute post intubation (t=9.97,p<0.001,S); 2 minute post intubation (t=8.86,p<0.001,S); 3 minute post intubation (t=7.32,p<0.001,S). Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that intravenous Dexmedetomidine is more effective in attenuating in blood pressure (Systolic, Diastolic, MAP) response to intubation than lignocaine. Key Word: Dexmedetomidine, lignocaine, endotracheal intubation
INTRODUCTION Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation increase the plasma concentration of catecholamines due to sympathetic stimulation which can result in tachycardia and hypertension in most of the individuals1,2. The longer the duration and greater the force of laryngoscopy, severe is going to be the haemodynamic stress response. The elevation in arterial pressure generally starts before five seconds of laryngoscopy, peaks in 1–2 min and returns to normal levels inside 5 min3. This may not bring on any unfriendly consequences for normal people but rather could be dangerous in patients with cerebrovascular diseases, hypertension or myocardial insufficiency4. The laryngoscopic response in these patients can increase myocardial oxygen demand and may lead to complications in susceptible individuals5,6. In spite of the availability of numerous drugs to blunt the haemodynamic response, the search for an ideal drug with minimal adverse effect continues. Several strategies have been tried to obtund stress response following laryngoscopy and endotracheal Intubation like local anaesthetics, intravenous opioids, β blockers, α2 adrenergic agonists, vasodilators, magnesium or by increasing volatile anaesthetic concentrations7. No single agent has been established as the most appropriate for this purpose. The disadvantages of these drugs vary from inadequate control of haemodynamics to various adverse effects like severe hypotension, bradycardia, arrhythmias, chest wall rigidity and delayed recovery. So, we have studied Dexmedetomidine versus lignocaine used for laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation with respect to Blood pressure changes at tertiary health care centre METHODOLOGY This was prospective randomized single blind control study carried out in the department of Anesthesia of MIMSR medical college, Latur during the two year period i.e. September 2013 to September 2015 in 80 patients. American society of Anesthesiologist Classification grade II patients, Age (18 to 65) patients posted for elective non cardiac surgery under general anesthesia were included into the study while patients uncontrolled hypertension, cardiac disease, heart block, allergy to Dexmedetomidine and lignocaine , any emergency cases were excluded from the study . By informed and written consent, pre-anesthetic evaluation including routine investigation, premedication agents were given. Induction agent given were Thiopentone sodium, Muscle relaxant such as Succinylcholine, Vecuronium were given. Maintenance agent, reversal agent –neostigmine, monitoring etc. was with standard protocols. The patients were divided into Group L- patients receiving i.v. 2 % 1.5 ml/kg lignocaine (preservative free) 3 minute before laryngoscopy Group D- Patients receiving i.v. dexmedetomide (0.6mcg/kg) 10 minutes before laryngoscopy. The blood pressure was monitored at Baseline (15 min before induction), Immediately after induction, During intubation (0 minute), 1 minute post intubation, 2 minute post intubation, 3 minute post intubation, 4 minute post intubation, 5 minute post intubation, 10 minute post intubation. The statistical analysis was done by unpaired t-test and calculated by SPSS 19 version.

Diastolic Blood pressure was at Baseline (15 min before induction) (t=0.3,p>0.76,NS); Immediately after induction (t=6.21,p<0.001,S); During intubation (0 minute)(t=8.31,p<0.001,S); 1 minute post intubation (t=9.97,p<0.001,S); 2 minute post intubation (t=8.86,p<0.001,S); 3minute post intubation (t=7.32,p<0.001,S); 4minute post intubation(t=5.34,p<0.001,S); 5 minute post intubation (t=3.76,p<0.001,S); 10 minute post intubation (t=2.23, p<0.03,S)
Table 5: Comparison of Mean Arterial Blood pressure in both the Groups
The MAP at Baseline (15 min before induction) was (t=0.05,p<0.96,NS); Immediately after induction (t=3.49,p<0.001,S); During intubation (0 minute)(t=7.91,p<0.001,S); 1 minute post intubation (t=7.10,p<0.001,S); 2 minute post intubation (t=6.51,p<0.001,S); 3 minute post intubation (t=5.60,p<0.001,S); 4 minute post intubation(t=3.69,p<0.001,S); 5 minute post intubation(t=2.28,p<0.02,S); 10 minute post intubation (t=1.66,p<0.1, NS) DISCUSSION laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubations are considered as the most critical events during general anesthesia as they provoke transient but marked sympatho adrenal response manifesting as hypertension and tachycardia11,12,13.The response is variable and significant. Laryngoscopy and intubation violate the patients protective air way relexes and leads to physiological changes including hypertension tachycardia and arrhythmias raises intracranial and intraocular pressure. During endotracheal intubations marked circulatory effects like reflex hypertension (rise up to 40-50%) and tachycardia (rise p to 20%) is encountered14 These cardiovasucular responses may have serious consequences including dysaarthmias myocardial infarction sudden LVF, pulmonary edema cerebrovascular hemorrhage and at time even cardiac arrest.15 Intravenous (IV) lignocaine is one of the oldest, cheapest and most easily available drug used for attenuation of hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation7,8 Dexmedetomidine is a new alpha-2 adrenergic agonist having 8-times more affi nity for alpha-2 adrenoceptors as compared with clonidine. Pretreatment with dexmedetomidine attenuates hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation.9, 10 In our study we have seen that Baseline parameters like Systolic Blood pressure, Diastolic Blood pressure, Mean Arterial Pressure were comparable to each other (t=0.15,0.88, NS),(t=0.76,0.76,NS), (t=0.96,0.96,NS) respectively. Systolic Blood pressure was at Baseline (15 min before induction) (t=0.15,0.88,NS); Immediately after induction (t=0.85, 0.4, NS); During intubation (0 minute)(t=4.43,p<0.001,S); 1 minute post intubation (t=2.92, p<0.004,S); 2 minute post intubation (t=2.41p<0.02,S); 3 minute post intubation (t=2.39,p<0.02,S), 4 minute post intubation(t=1.41,0.16,NS);5 minute post intubation(t=0.38,p<0.7,NS); 10 minute post intubation (t=0.73,p<0.47,NS) Diastolic Blood pressure was at Baseline (15 min before induction) (t=0.3,p>0.76,NS); Immediately after induction (t=6.21,p<0.001,S); During intubation (0 minute)(t=8.31,p<0.001,S); 1 minute post intubation (t=9.97,p<0.001,S); 2 minute post intubation (t=8.86,p<0.001,S); 3 minute post intubation (t=7.32,p<0.001,S); 4 minute post intubation(t=5.34,p<0.001,S); 5 minute post intubation (t=3.76,p<0.001,S); 10 minute post intubation (t=2.23, p<0.03,S) . The MAP at Baseline (15 min before induction) was (t=0.05,p<0.96,NS); Immediately after induction (t=3.49,p<0.001,S); During intubation (0 minute)(t=7.91,p<0.001,S); 1 minute post intubation (t=7.10,p<0.001,S); 2 minute post intubation (t=6.51,p<0.001,S); 3 minute post intubation (t=5.60,p<0.001,S); 4 minute post intubation(t=3.69,p<0.001,S); 5 minute post intubation(t=2.28,p<0.02,S); 10 minute post intubation (t=1.66,p<0.1, NS). Raval DL et al (2014) compared two doses of dexmedetomidine and observed statistically highly significant (p<0.01) increase in mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) in higher dose group and tracheal intubation and 1 minute after intubation, 2 minute after intubation and 5 minute after intubation, mean SBP, DBP, and MAP were comparable in both the groups(p>0.05).
CONCLUSION It can be concluded from our study that intravenous Dexmedetomidine is more effective in attenuating in blood pressure (Systolic, Diastolic, MAP) response to intubation than lignocaine.
