استخدام الليدوكائين مع أدوية المباشرة عند مرضى فرط التوتر الشرياني

Hypertension is a common disease world-wide. It involves both sexes, all ages, and its incidence increases proportionally with age. Our study included 60 patients from those who were admitted to AL-ASSAD university hospital (LATTAKIA) from 24/1/2006 to 28/3/2007. They were diagnosed as hypertensive patients. The female patients were 35 (58%) and the male ones 25 (42%). We divided our patients into two groups, according to the Lidocaine medication before the intubation. Group A account 30 patients which received Lidocaine before intubation Group B accounts 30 patients which did not receive Lidocaine before intubation. We have evaluated the severity of the hypertensive reaction and dysarrhythmias induced by the intubation in the hypertensive patients upon the intubation and after 5 minutes of induction. The result of our study was that the use of lidocaine before intubation in the hypertensive patients caused reduction of the hypertensive reactions and dysarrhythmias induced by the intubation.
