Randomized Controlled TrialEffect of gabapentin pretreatment on the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation in treated hypertensive patients.
This randomized, double-blind study was conducted to evaluate the effect of gabapentin pretreatment on the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation (LETI) in treated hypertensive patients undergoing surgery. ⋯ Gabapentin 800 mg in a single or double dose was equally effective in attenuating the hypertensive response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation in treated hypertensive patients.
