Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Emergence from anaesthesia, hemodynamics at various stages of surgeryTimepoint: End of surgery,hemodynamics at various stages:1.preintubation and postintubation(maximum rise within 3 minutes of intubation 2.three pin insertion(maximum rise)3.before and after nasal packing of saline swabs soaked in adrenaline (maximum rise within 3 minutes 4.preinfilteration and postinfilteration(maximum rise with 3 minutes)of nasal mucosal infiteration with lignocaine with adrenaline 5.sphenoid bone and sellar ridge dissection (maximum rise)6.after extubation(maximum rise within 3 minutes)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
adverse events due to technique (if any) such as hypertension, hypotension, tachycardia or bradycardiaTimepoint: during entire duration of surgery;recovery characteristics using modified aldrete score and modified version of short orientation memory concentration testTimepoint: at 5 minutes and 10 minutes after tracheal extubation.
