Brief Summary   Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation following induction of anesthesia have been reported to cause significant increases in blood pressure and pulse rate. These changes are usually of short duration and pose little threat to healthy patients. But in patients with hypertension, short periods of hypertension or tachycardia may increase the risk of cardiac ischemia and other vascular events. Various pharmacological drugs have been tested in an attempt to prevent or attenuate these hemodynamic responses. Deep general anesthesia, intravenous administration of adrenergic blocking drugs like esmolol , or vasodilating drugs like diltiazem and nitroglycerin are often tried to prevent or attenuate the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation. Though they are proven to reduce the intubation response, their undesirable side effects like hypotension, bradycardia, bronchospasm, and conduction blocks warrant close monitoring and may necessitate monitoring of intra-arterial pressure. Lidocaine is the most commonly studied drug in this regard either through intravenous route or as laryngo-tracheal topical anesthetic drug prior to intubation. Lidocaine is also a common drug available in the operation rooms and the effect of lidocaine to attenuate the hemodynamic response to tracheal intubation is well proven by many studies but the majority of them are limited to intravenous route of administration in low-risk surgical patients. Topical lidocaine has also been shown to attenuate the hemodynamic response to intubation. Theoretically topical lidocaine due to regional action may suppress the cardiovascular reflex response to laryngoscopy and intubation as compared to intravenous administration. Also, the systemic toxicity of lidocaine may be avoided. Studies directly comparing intravenous and topical lidocaine in attenuating intubation response are very limited to low risk surgical population and lack adequate power to conclude the superiority of each other. Hence our study has been undertaken to make this direct comparison between topical and intravenous lidocaine in addition to fentanyl in attenuating the intubation hemodynamic response. Patients with controlled hypertension whose blood pressure is maintained below 140/90 millimeter of mercury with a single or combination of oral medications belonging to American Society of Anesthesiologists ASA II posted for noncardiac elective surgery are selected as the study population. They will receive premedication on the night prior to the surgery and at least 90 minutes before the surgery which includes Diazepam 100 mcg/kg with an upper limit of 10mg and aspiration prophylaxis drugs like Metoclopramide 10 mg and Famotidine 10 mg. The patients will be brought into the operating room, allowed to relax for a few minutes till they feel calm and composed, following which monitors are attached and continuous monitoring of noninvasive blood pressure, pulse rate, oxygen saturation and ECG (leads I, II, III and V5) will be started. An intravenous access will be secured under 1ml of 2% lidocaine skin infiltration and injection Fentanyl 2 mcg/kg will be slowly injected subsequently. Simultaneously, preoxygenation with 100% oxygen will be started using a circle breathing system. Five minutes after injection of Fentanyl, baseline recordings of systolic, mean, diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, and ST segment measurement from leads II and V5 will be noted and Rate pressure product will be calculated. Sealed opaque envelopes will be opened at this time. One syringe labeled as topical drug and another one labeled as the intravenous drug depending on the group allocation will be prepared by the independent anesthesiologist not involved in the study. Then they will be induced with intravenous 10% Propofol at a dose of 2 mg/kg until the loss of verbal response of the patient. Then vecuronium 0.1 mg/kg will be administered. The LMA Madgic intubation atomizer (Teleflex) device will be inserted into the oral cavity of patients in the topical lidocaine(TL) group and mask ventilation will be started with sevoflurane in oxygen air mixture. After insertion of the LMA Magic device another reading of blood pressure (systolic, mean and diastolic)and heart rate will be noted. To facilitate atomization of topical drug, Oxygen at the flow rate of 2 L/ min will be administered through one of the ports of the device from a separate oxygen flow meter. The patients in the Topical Lidocaine (TL) group will receive 1.5 mg/Kg of 2% lidocaine through the atomizer over period of 30 seconds. The Intravenous Lidocaine (IL) group will receive 1.5 mg/Kg of 2% lidocaine intravenously. The drug will be injected over a period of 30 seconds. Mask ventilation will be continued so that laryngoscopy and intubation are performed three minutes after the delivery of lidocaine. During mask ventilation the end tidal carbon-di-oxide will be kept between the range of 35 to 45 mmHg. The intubation will be performed by an experienced anesthesiologist (Third year Junior Resident / Senior Resident / Consultant) to avoid prolonged intubation or multiple attempts at intubation. Laryngoscopy is done with a standard McIntosh blade and tracheal intubation is done with an appropriate size tracheal tube under direct vision. Following intubation, blood pressure, pulse rate, ECG and EtCo2, are noted every one minute for the first 10 minutes by the investigator blinded to the group allocation.
