Magnesium and Fentanyl in Preventing Reflex Hemodynamic Response to Endotracheal Intubation in Patients Aged 50 Years and Older
This prospective, randomized, controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of magnesium sulfate and fentanyl on the hemodynamic response to endotracheal intubation in surgical patients aged 50 years and older. A total of 75 patients will be enrolled and randomized into three groups: magnesium sulfate alone, magnesium sulfate plus fentanyl, and fentanyl alone. The primary outcome measures are changes in mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate before and after intubation. Secondary outcomes include BIS, SEF, ST, TOF recovery times, intraoperative hemodynamic stability, and perioperative complications.
• Age ≥ 50 years
• Patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia
• Patients requiring endotracheal intubation with a single-lumen tube
• Provision of written informed consent
