The effect of intranasal dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic disturbances caused by laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation.

Background: Induced stimulation while endotracheal intubating affects hemodynamic status. The present study compares the hemodynamic changes caused by endotracheal intubating after administering two doses of intranasal Dexmedetomidine.

Methods: In an experimental (before-after) trial, 88 patients undergoing general anesthesia enrolled in the study.
