Comparison of esmolol and nitroglycerine on hemodynamic parameters during extubation in obese patients following laparoscopic cholecystectomy: a prospective randomized study
Abstract
ABSTRACT
Introduction: One of the main concerns for the anesthesiologist in obese hypertensive patients is to prevent hypertension, tachycardia and arrhythmias during extubation, and to ensure an awake patient with full airway control and stable hemodynamics. Our aim was to compare the effects of single bolus of intravenous nitroglycerine and intravenous esmolol on hemodynamic response and quality of extubation following tracheal extubation in obese patients posted for elective laparoscopic surgery.
