Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The outcome that is measured in this study is the reduction of post-sore throat, while comparing the drug groupsTimepoint: The time points where outcomes are checked are at 1st hour, 6th hour, 12th hour and 24th hour postoperatively.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1. To compare the intubation response with the postoperative sore throat. 2. To assess the severity of emergence agitation in patients receiving intra cuff ketamine and clonidine. 3. To assess the severity of emergence agitation in patients receiving intra cuff 2% alkalinized. 4. To compare the severity of emergence agitation in two groups.Timepoint: After the surgery, the patient will be assessed for any emergence agitation such as bucking, coughing over the tube and NIBP, SpO2, and HR will be recorded every 3 minutes after giving reversal up to 6 minutes after extubation. Emergence agitation during extubation, if any, will be recorded. Post-operative sore throat will be assessed in the 1st hour, 6th hour, 12th hour, and 24th hour post extubation. Sore throat will be measured on a 4-point scale of 0 3
