A prospective randomized double blind study to compare the efficacy of oral Clonidine to intravenous Lignocaine for attenuation of haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation

[摘要] A randomized double blinded controlled study was done with oral Clonidine and intravenous Lignocaine. The aim of the study was to compare the laryngoscopy and intubation responses after the administration of the study drug and the control drug. In this study conducted in Regional Cancer centre, Trivandrum we selected 38 patients each in Group A who received oral Clonidine and Group B who received intravenous Lignocaine. The haemodynamic responses in both groups were compared. We concluded that oral Clonidine has better control over haemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and intubation when compared to intravenous Lignocaine.
