A comparison of haemodynamic responses between clinical assessment-guided tracheal intubation and neuromuscular block monitoring-guided tracheal intubation: A prospective, randomised study

Background and Aims: Haemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation and their hazards are well documented. The purpose of the study was to compare the effects of laryngoscopy and intubation on cardiovascular responses when the appropriate moment for intubation was directed by eit...

description Background and Aims: Haemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation and their hazards are well documented. The purpose of the study was to compare the effects of laryngoscopy and intubation on cardiovascular responses when the appropriate moment for intubation was directed by either clinical judgment or train-of-four assessment. Methods: A total of 68 patients, posted for laparoscopic cholecystectomy, were randomised into two groups. In Group M patients, the trachea was intubated after train of four counts became zero in adductor pollicis muscle, whereas in Group C patients, the trachea was intubated after the clinical judgment of jaw muscle relaxation. Changes in heart rate (HR) and mean arterial pressure, intubating conditions and the time between the administration of a neuromuscular blocking agent and endotracheal intubation were recorded. Results were analysed by the Analysis of variance and chi-square tests. Results: HR and mean arterial pressure were significantly higher in Group C as compared to Group M after laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation (P < 0.05). The mean time required for intubation was significantly shorter in Group C compared to Group M (175 ± 7 s vs. 385 ± 101 s). Excellent and good intubation conditions were observed in all Group M patients, whereas 24 out of 34 patients (70%) in Group C showed excellent and good intubation conditions. Conclusion: Haemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation can be significantly attenuated if tracheal intubation is performed following complete paralysis of laryngeal muscles, detected by neuromuscular monitoring of adductor pollicis muscle.
