Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To study the effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine on intraoperative hemodynamic stability and its role in postoperative analgesia following laparoscopic Stephen- Fowlerâ??s stage-2 orchidopexy under general anaesthesia in pediatric patients. Timepoint: Heart rate, systolic blood pressure, oxygen saturation, end-tidal CO2, temperature will be recorded every 5 minutes intraoperatively, and postoperatively for 15 minutes followed by every 30 min for 1 hour. Extubation quality will be graded at extubation. Agitation scores observed every 15 minutes for 1 hour. Pain score every 2 hours for 6 hours followed by every 4 hours for 24 hours. Time for first dose of rescue analgesic and time to discharge will be documented.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To study the effect of dexmedetomidine on airway reflexes and hemodynamic responses during tracheal extubation. Timepoint: Extubation
