Abstract

Background: The hemodynamic stress response to intubation needs attenuation in hypertensive individuals. The anesthesiologists have tried various methods and drugs for this purpose. We compared the effectiveness of oral pregabalin and intravenous lignocaine to attenuate the pressor response in patients with stage-1 hypertension in this prospective, randomized double blinded study.
