ABSTRACT

Aim: Assess pulse rate variations throughout endotrachial intubation.

Methodologies: Reflection of pulse rate variations throughout endotrachial intubation have been applied upon 80 patients separated into two sets: Set A (controlling set): usually has been provided anesthesia involving succinylcholine and thiopentone before to intubation. Set B: Tracheal Lidocaine (2%) was given 180 second prioranesthesia induction.

Results: The fallowing phenomena have been observed; Endotrachial intubation caused a noticeable increase in the pulse rate. There was a variance in the response among the selectedsets; in set B, it will be recorded a greatlysubstantiallower magnitudes of pulse rate than the controllingset A (P less than 0.001).

Conclusion: It has been concluded from the analysis that throughout endotrachial intubation, certain patients who obtained Tracheal Lidocaine 180 seconds before anesthesia induction displayed limited pulse rate variations.
