AIM
To compare the haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation with intravenous MgSO4 and intravenous fentanyl.
METHODS
Fifty adult patients were divided into two groups randomly into group M and group F. Patients of group M received 30 mg/kg body weight of IV MgSO4 and group F received IV fentanyl 1.5 μg/kg 5 minutes before intubation.
RESULTS
IV Fentanyl showed greater degree of haemodynamic stability i.e. rise in heart rate, mean arterial pressure during laryngoscopy and intubation compared to IV MgSO4. IV fentanyl showed side effects like respiratory depression, nausea and vomiting.
CONCLUSION
IV fentanyl is a better drug in controlling haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation.
