All of the results were entered into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet, and then SPSS software was used to analyses them. Results:While comparing the mean arterial pressure and heart rate among the subjects of both the study groups at different time intervals, no significant difference was observed. However; while comparing the mean arterial pressure and heart rate among subjects of both the study groups at the time of induction.
