GABA-Ergic Premedication and Hemodynamic Stability during Induction Laryngoscopy Phase of General Anesthesia

Abstract: introduction: Gabapentin is a second generation anticonvulsant that is effective in the treatment of chronic neuropathic pain. Recent data suggests its perioperative administration for attenuation of the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation. The aim of this study was to compare Oral Gabapentin premedication with no premedication in patients undergoing rigid laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation for General Anaesthesia in terms of mean heart rate and mean arterial pressure.
