Laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation

Supplements studied for laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation.

Overview

Melatonin before surgery may help keep heart rate and blood pressure stable during endotracheal tube placement for anesthesia, performing similarly to clonidine in one study using 6 mg. Melatonin is considered safe for this use.

Whether melatonin prevents other problems linked with tube placement remains unclear. The evidence review below provides further details.
