Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the efficacy of intravenous with intranasal dexmedetomidine for attenuation of haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation with regard to heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure at various time pointsTimepoint: Haemodynamic parameters heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure and mean arterial pressure), oxygen saturation (SpO2) and end tidal carbon dioxide (EtCO2) will be recorded at 1.baseline 2.after nasal pre-medication (at 10 and 20 min), 3. 5 and 10 min of intravenous infusion of study drug/pre-induction, 4.post-induction, 5. 3 min post induction 6. post-intubation (at 1,3,5 and 10 min)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Pre-induction sedation score 2. Induction dose of propofolTimepoint: 1.Sedation score (Ramsay sedation score) will be recorded at a)baseline in the pre-operative area b)before induction of anaesthesia c) at recovery. 2.Induction dose of propofol required until loss of verbal contact will be noted at the time of injecting propofol
