A study to compare how well two different dosages of oral melatonin (6mg and 9mg) attenuate rise in blood pressure and heart rate in response to laryngoscopy and intubation when given 1 hour before administration of general anaesthesia.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To study attenuation in stress repsonse and haemodynamics and during intubation and laryngoscopyTimepoint: Baseline 60 mins after drug administration Just after induction Just after laryngoscopy and intubation At 1 minute At 3 minutes At 5 minutes At 10 minutes At 15 minutes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To study post op sedation score after extubation or any side effects upto 120 minutes.Timepoint: Ramsey sedation scale(RSS) will be used to assess post op sedation score at 15, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after extubation.
