Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To study the effect of dexmedetomidine given before induction of anaesthesia on haemodynamic responses to direct laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation.Timepoint: Heart Rate (HR), Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP), Diastolic Blood Pressure (DBP), Mean Blood Pressure (MBP), Oxygen Saturation (SpO2), end tidal CO2 (EtCO2) were continuously monitored and recorded at following time intervals. - Baseline - After completion of infusion of study drug - 5 min after completion of infusion of study drug - After induction - Just before intubation - After intubation at 1min, 3min, 5min, 10min and 15 min.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1)To study effect of dexmedetomidine on requirement of propofol at induction. 2)To study the adverse effects of dexmedetomidine. Timepoint: - After recording the primary outcome observations for 15 the rest of the anaesthetic procedure was carried out. The secondary outcomes were recorded during the study which includes the the total dose of propofol required for induction and any adverse effects of dexmedetomidine during the entire study was recorded.
