In this prospective, randomised, double-blind, comparative clinical trial, Esmolol and Labetalol were assessed for attenuation of sympathomimetic reactivity to laryngoscopy and intubation at low doses.
Materials and Procedures: The participants in this study were 50 ASA 1 patients of either gender undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthetic. Patients were randomly assigned to one of two groups prior to induction: group E received intravenous Esmolol (0.5 mg/kg) or group L received intravenous Labetalol (0.25 mg/kg), and hemodynamic parameters were monitored according to the procedure to determine stress response to laryngoscopy and intubation.
The demographic profiles of both research groups were similar as a result of the findings. Instat version 3.10 was used for statistical calculations. The study's data was analysed utilising statistical methods including mean and standard deviation. Esmolol (0.5 mg/kg) and Labetalol (0.25 mg/kg) significantly reduced the increase in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and RPP during laryngoscopy and intubation. The difference in DBP and MAP values, however, was not statistically significant.
Conclusion: Our clinical trial found that intravenous Labetalol (0.25 mg/kg) is more effective than intravenous Esmolol (0.5 mg/kg) at reducing the sympathomimetic reaction to laryngoscopy and intubation at lower doses. Esmolol is commonly used to elicit an intubation response at doses of 2-4 mg/kg, whereas labetalol has been studied at doses of 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, and 1 mg/kg [1].Author (S) Details
