Abstract:

After Hospital Ethical Commitee’s approval, 80 ASA I-II patients were included into this study in equal 4 groups (n: 20). Anaesthesia induction was performed with 5 mg kg-1 thiopental sodium in Group P, 0.3 mg kg-1 etomidate in Group E, 2 mg kg-1 propofol in Group PR and 0.005 mg kg-1 fentanyl+0.1 mg kg-1 dehydrobenzperydol in Group NLA.0.001 fentanyl was added to the induction agent in the first three these groups. In all patients tracheal intubation was done with 0.6 mg kg-1 rocuronium within 60 seconds. The intubation score, heart rate, arterial blood pressures (systolic: SBP, diastolic: DBP) were recorded before the induction (t0); 1 and 5 min after endotracheal intubation (T1-T2). Good-excellent intubation score percentages were similar between the groups. By the mean of haemodynamic data, blood pressure changes (SBP, DBP) didn’t found to be significant within and between the groups. Heart rate was significantly higher in group NLA 5 min after intubation (p<0.05). This finding was not clinically important.
