Endotracheal intubation in postlaryngectomy patients is usually accomplished by inserting endotracheal tube directly into the laryngectomy stoma. The primary objective of our study was to assess the systolic blood pressure (SBP) response to intubation in postlaryngectomy patients. Secondary objectives included assessment of changes in heart rate (HR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), and to estimate tracheal component of hemodynamic response to intubation in normal patients by finding out the relative reduction in hemodynamic response that might occur in postlaryngectomy patients.
