    PurposeHypertensive patients exhibit exaggerated cardiovascular responses to tracheal extubation. This study was undertaken to compare the efficacy of combined diltiazem and lidocaine with each drug alone in suppressing the hemodynamic changes during tracheal extubation.MethodsSixty hypertensive patients (ASA II), defined as systolic blood pressure > 160 mmHg and/or diastolic blood pressure > 95 mmHg (WHO), undergoing elective orthopedic surgery received, in a randomized, double-blind manner, 0.2 mg x kg(-1) diltiazem, 1.0 mg x kg(-1) lidocaine, or 0.2 mg x kg(-1) diltiazem plus 1.0 mg x kg(-1) lidocaine (n=20 of each) i.v. before tracheal extubation. Changes in heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP) and rate-pressure product (RPP) were measured before and after tracheal extubation.ResultsHemodynamic changes during tracheal extubation were less in patients receiving diltiazem plus lidocaine than in those receiving diltiazem or lidocaine as a sole medicine (RPP; 10322 +/- 1674 (combined) vs 11532 +/- 1802 (diltiazem), 15388 +/- 2050 (lidocaine), mean +/- SD, P < 0.05).ConclusionCombined diltiazem and lidocaine is more effective prophylaxis than diltiazem or lidocaine alone for attenuating the cardiovascular responses to tracheal extubation and emergence from anesthesia in hypertensive patients.
