Settings And Design: This study was conducted to compare the efficacy of two different bolus doses of phenylephrine for preventing subarachnoid block-induced hypotension in cesarean sections.
Background And Aims: Cardiovascular stress response to extubation can result in elevated heart rate (HR) and mean arterial blood pressures which can be detrimental in high-risk patients.
Settings And Design: The objective of this study is to compare the esmolol and labetalol efficacy in attenuating hemodynamic response to tracheal extubation.
Materials And Methods: Sixty patients scheduled for elective surgical procedures were selected randomly and divided into two groups of thirty each.
