THE EFFECT OF ESMOLOL ON CORRECTED-QT INTERVAL, CORRECTED-QT INTERVAL DISPERSION CHANGES SEEN DURING ANESTHESIA INDUCTION IN HYPERTENSIVE PATIENTS TAKING AN ANGIOTENSIN-CONVERTING ENZYME INHIBITOR

The effect of esmolol on corrected-QT interval, corrected-QT interval dispersion changes seen during anesthesia induction in hypertensive patients taking an angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The importance of minimizing the exaggerated sympatho-adrenergic responses and QT interval and QT interval dispersion changes that may develop due to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation during anesthesia induction in the hypertensive patients is clear.Esmolol decreases the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubat
