Why the study?
Does esmolol reduce the incidence of tachycardia and control heart rate immediately after tracheal intubation compared to lidocaine?
Does esmolol reduce the incidence of tachycardia and control heart rate immediately after tracheal intubation compared to lidocaine?
Esmolol is more effective than lidocaine at controlling heart rate and preventing tachycardia immediately following tracheal intubation.
Esmolol may be preferred to lidocaine for attenuating post-intubation tachycardia; extends limited RCT evidence in anesthesia.
Esmolol was a safe and more effective intervention to reduce incidence of tachycardia and control heart rate immediately after tracheal intubation when compared to lidocaine.
