Introduction:
This study was conducted to compare the effect of dexmedetomidine and labetalol on hemodynamic variables in patients undergoing microlaryngoscopy.
Material And Methods:
In this randomized clinical trial study 70 patients undergoing microlaryngoscopy were involved. The patients were randomly assigned into two groups. Patients in dexmedetomidine group received 0.5 μg/kg of dexmedetomidine diluted in 100 ml of saline solution and the patients in the second group received 0.25 mg/kg of labetalol before anesthesia induction. At the beginning of the surgery, dexmedetomidine was infused at the dose of 0.4 μg/kg/h in the dexmedetomidine group, and labetalol at the dose of 1.8 mg/kg/h in the labetalol group. Patients' systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure and heart rate at different times and anesthesia and surgery duration, recovery time and dose of prescribed propofol were recorded and compared between two groups.
Results:
There was a significant difference in mean systolic blood pressure, mean diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial blood pressure and mean heart rate between two groups at different times (p value < 0.05).
Conclusion:
The results of this study indicated that dexmedetomidine had higher efficacy, compared to labetalol, in reducing diastolic blood pressure, systolic blood pressure, heart rate, and mean arterial blood pressure following microlaryngoscopy.
