Background&Objectives: Laryngeal, tracheal and bronchial receptors are stimulated by mechanical and chemical irritants during laryngoscopy, intubation and extubation. The reflex increases in sympathoadrenergic activity caused by these manipulations leads to an increase in catecholamine release, arterial blood pressure and heart rate. The aim of present study was to evaluate the efficacy of Fentanyl (2 mcg/kg), Esmolol (1mg/kg) and their combination in half the dose(fentanyl 1 mcg/kg +esmolol 0.5mg/kg) in attenuating the pressure response during laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. Methods: This is a prospective double blind study comprising ninety patients between 21-60 yrs and ASA grade I and II scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia. Patients were randomly divided into group E (injection Esmolol 1mg/kg iv), group F (inj.Fentanyl 2mcg/kg iv) and group C (inj.Esmolol 0.5mg/kg and inj.Fentanyl 1mcg/kg). The study drug was given 2 minutes before induction of anaesthesia. All the vital parameters of patients were observed during intra operative and postoperative period .Values of heart rate and mean blood pressure were recorded at pre-induction, after giving study drug, after induction, immediately after intubation and at 1 min, 3 min, 5 min, 7 min and 10 min. after intubation. Results: Inter group comparison of groups E, F & C showed greater attenuation of heart rate in group F as compared to group C and group E. Inter group comparison of groups E, F & C in attenuating increase in MAP showed greater attenuation of MAP in group F as compared to group E ( p=0.880) and group C (p=0.0005). Conclusion: Among the fentanyl (2 mcg/kg), esmolol (1 mg/kg) and their combination drug in half doses, injection fentanyl is best in attenuating haemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation.
