Popis: This study was designed to determine the safety and efficacy of 100-mg and 200-mg bolus doses of esmolol in the prevention of intubation-associated hypertension, tachycardia, ST depression, and dysrhythmias. Forty-five patients undergoing noncardiac surgery were randomly allocated to receive either placebo, esmolol, 100 mg, or esmolol, 200 mg, intravenously, 90 seconds prior to intubation. Both doses of esmolol decreased the mean maximum increase in heart rate and rate-pressure product by approximately 36% [ P P
