Brief Summary   The study is designed to investigate the effectiveness of ultrasound-guided superior laryngeal nerve block as an adjuvant to general anaesthesia on hemodynamic response to intubation in hypertensive patients. It was hypothesized that ultrasound-guided block of bilateral internal branch of superior laryngeal nerve would reduce hemodynamic response (measured using mean blood pressure) to intubation when compared to no block group when given as an adjuvant to general anaesthesia in hypertensive patients.
