Then laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation were attempted at BIS 40-50. Intubating conditionswere assessed as excellent, good or poor on the basis of ease of ventilation, position of the vocalcords, and patient's response to intubation and slow inflation of the tracheal cuff. The meanarterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) were measured before anesthetic agentadministration, immediately after tracheal intubation, and five minutes after intubation.Results: Excellent intubating conditions were obtained in 76% of Group P patients and 84% ofGroup S patients and were not significantly different between the two groups (p CP - IRAN IN - Resident of Anesthesiology, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran LG - eng PB - jap PG - 1 PT - Original YR - 2011
