Efficacy of dexmedetomidine in attenuating pressor response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation under bispectral index controlled anesthesia: a prospective randomized double-blinded study
Abstract Background Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation may lead to a remarkable hemodynamic pressor response.
