Brief Summary   This prospective observational cohort study aims to compare the sympathetic vasomotor response of the radial artery to endotracheal intubation in hypertensive and normotensive patients, using Doppler-derived resistive index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI). A total of 80 adult patients undergoing elective surgery under general anaesthesia will be enrolled. RI and PI will be measured at baseline and at 1, 3, and 5 minutes post-intubation. Haemodynamic parameters will also be recorded. The study evaluates whether hypertensive patients exhibit an exaggerated vascular response. Results may assist in optimising perioperative care and understanding vascular reactivity differences between hypertensive and normotensive patients.
