Comparative effects of dexmedetomidine versus labetalol on hemodynamic stress response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation: A systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials
Background
Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation provoke a sympathetic surge, leading to transient elevations in heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and mean arterial pressure, potentially increasing perioperative cardiovascular risk. Dexmedetomidine and labetalol are both used to attenuate this response, but their comparative efficacy remains unclear. This study aimed to synthesize current evidence comparing their effects on peri-intubation hemodynamic responses.
Methods
We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis following PRISMA 2020 guidelines. PubMed, Embase, Scopus, Web of Science, Cochrane, and Google Scholar were searched for randomized controlled trials comparing dexmedetomidine with labetalol. Primary outcomes were heart rate and systolic blood pressure; secondary outcomes included diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure. Data were analyzed using random-effects models. Risk of bias was assessed using the RoB 2 tool, and certainty of evidence was evaluated with the GRADE framework.
Results
Eight randomized trials involving 514 patients were included. Dexmedetomidine significantly reduced systolic blood pressure at 3, 5, and 10 min post-intubation (mean difference −7.46 to −8.62 mmHg) compared to labetalol; the difference at 1 min (−3.96 mmHg) was not statistically significant. Heart rate was significantly reduced at all timepoints (mean difference −10.59 to −14.05 bpm). Reductions in diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure were also consistent and statistically significant. Adverse events were infrequently reported. Two studies documented bradycardia and hypotension, with slightly higher rates in the dexmedetomidine group in one study and in the labetalol group in another. The remaining studies reported no adverse events, though definitions varied substantially.
Conclusions
Dexmedetomidine was associated with greater attenuation of the hemodynamic response to intubation compared to labetalol. However, the certainty of evidence ranged from low to moderate and safety data were limited. Further high-quality trials are warranted to refine dosing strategies and assess applicability in broader patient populations.
Trial registration
