Abstract Forty non cardiac patients were chosen for this study.They were classified into 2 groups:The first group,: Consisted of 20 patients and was kept as acntrol group. Their basal pulse and arterial blood’pressurewas recorded before induction of anaesthesia after i.v. inj-ection of atropine (0.02 mg. kg1), thiopentone (5 mg. kg-’)mixture, After i.v. injection of suxamethonium(1 mg. kg-1) 9after direct laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation and thenevery 10 minutes for the following 30 minutes. The patientswere maintained on halothane 2-2.5%’anae,sthesia carried withoxygen,Patients of’the second group: Were injected with i.mo propranolol (17 ug. kg-1 ) 30 minutes before induction of andesthesia.Their pulse rate and arterial blood pressure were recorded as was followed in patients of the first group. increase in the pulse ra from this study it was found that there was a significant te after i.v. adminstration ofatropine sulphate mixed with thiopentone sodium, after suxamethon-ium, laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation.
