Abstract
Esmolol is a phenoxy propanolamine, a molecular structure characteristic of conventional, second‐generation ß‐blockers. Magnesium is the fourth most common cation in the body and second most common intracellular cation after potassium. This study was undertaken to compare the effects of intravenous esmolol 30mg/kg with intravenous magnesium sulphate 30mg/kg on the heart rate following laryngoscopy and intubation. Data was collected from patients scheduled for elective surgeries under general anaesthesia with end otracheal intubation. The mean HR in esmolol group was significantly lower than magnesium sulphate group from intubation, till 10 minutes after intubation (p<0.05). Thus, esmolol attenuated HR response better than magnesium sulphate.
