This clinical trial studies the effects of four drugs—lidocaine, dexmedetomidine, esmolol, and magnesium—on the optic nerve sheath diameter and hemodynamic responses during laryngoscopy. The trial aims to find the best anesthesia induction protocol for patients who are sensitive to changes in intracranial pressure, using optic nerve ultrasonography as a monitoring tool. Participants are patients scheduled for elective surgery requiring intubation and general anesthesia, aged 18 to 80 years with ASA physical status I to III. Participants are randomly assigned to one of five groups: lidocaine, dexmedetomidine, esmolol, magnesium, or a control group receiving only saline. Each drug is administered intravenously over 10 minutes before anesthesia induction. Standard general anesthesia is then given, followed by endotracheal intubation performed by experienced anesthesiologists. The optic nerve sheath diameter is measured by ultrasound at four time points: before laryngoscopy, immediately after, and then five and ten minutes after intubation. During the study, researchers monitor blood pressure, heart rate, bispectral index, and end-tidal carbon dioxide alongside the optic nerve measurements. The goal is to compare changes in optic nerve sheath diameter and hemodynamic responses between groups to identify which drug offers the most stable condition during intubation. The total participation involves these measurements around the anesthesia period, with safety and stability carefully observed throughout.

Duration - 2 to 4 weeks
Participants are screened for eligibility to participate in the trial.
1 screening and enrollment visit (in-person)
Duration - Approximately 30 minutes on the day of surgery
Participants receive one of the study drugs or placebo intravenously for 10 minutes before general anesthesia induction. Standard anesthesia and endotracheal intubation are then performed while optic nerve sheath diameter and hemodynamic responses are measured during and shortly after the procedure.
