Abstract

Background: Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation is usually associated with hemodynamic changes increases in blood pressure and heart rate. We aimed to compare the hemodynamic effects of combined use of low dose thiopentone and propofol during induction of anesthesia with conventional dose of thiopentone and propofol separately.

Methodology: This trialwas conducted prospectively among90 candidates, American Society of Anaesthesiologists grade-l (ASA-I), scheduled for elective surgery, with an age range of 20-50 yearsSelected patients were randomly assigned to three equal groups. Thiopentone was used in group 1, propofol in group 2, and a combination of low dose thiopentone and propofol in group 3 as an induction agent.

Heart rate and blood pressures were measured non-invasively at five different times: prior to the injection of study drugs, three minutes after the last injection of induction drug and immediately before the laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation, as well as at the first, third and fifth minutes after endotracheal intubation.
