Attenuation of Cardiovascular Response with Lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg and Labetalol 10 mg
Abstract
The purpose of this double blind study was to determine if labetalol 10 mg or lidocaine 1.5 mg/kg would blunt the cardiovascular responses to laryngoscopy and oral endotracheal intubation compared to a control. It was found that there was no significant differences between groups in blunting the cardiovascular responses to endotracheal intubation. Both lidocaine and labetalol had a significant effect on controlling a rise in heart rate and systolic blood pressure. However neither lidocaine or labetalol had any significant effect on preventing a rise in diastolic blood pressure.
