Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: With traumatic brain injury presenting to ED and requiring a rapid sequence intubation. Patient relatives are willing to participate in the study

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: Hemodynamic instability( hyper or hypotension) during RSI Predicted difficult intubation by LEMON scoring Patients with open skull injuries Patients with eyeball globe injuries, orbital mass or tumors. Patients with H/O any neurosurgical procedures. Nontraumatic brain injuries pregnancy Anti-edema therapy like Mannitol infusion started before arrival at ED Contraindication or Hypersensitivity to any used drug. • Other organ injury causing likelihood of low GCS

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Average change in optic nerve sheath diameter before and after administration of induction drugsTimepoint: Parameters Wii be taken 3 minutes before induction ,5 and 10 minutes following induction.The patient will be followed up for next 24 hour.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. Hemodynamic changes 2. Successful first pass intubation rates 3.To check the duration of sedative efficacy among the two groups.Timepoint: Measurements are taken just before induction and 5 minutes, 10 minutes following induction.
