Abstract: Objectives: Intubating laryngeal mask airway (ILMA) offers a new approach for endotracheal intubation and is expected to produce less cardiovascular stress responses. However, the available studies provide inconsistent results. The present study was designed to compare the haemodynamic response during intubation by conventional direct laryngoscopy and intubation by ILMA. Materials and methods: After obtaining approval from the ethics and scientific committee, 100 ASA grades I?II, aged 18 - 60 years of either sex scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia requiring endotracheal intubation, were randomly allocated into two groups. Patients of Group M were intubated using Macintosh laryngoscope and Group I with intubating laryngeal mask airway respectively. The general anaesthesia technique was standardized. Time to intubation, heart rate, systolic, diastolic, mean arterial blood pressure and rate pressure product were noted at various time intervals. All analysis was 2 tailed and P value of
