Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the effect of induction doses of Propofol and Etomidate on Blood Glucose concentration in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic Patients during Elective Surgical ProceduresTimepoint: Blood glucose will be monitored prior to general anesthesia induction and then at 5, 15 and 30 minutes respectively.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.To assess Haemodynamic response to induction doses of Propofol and Etomidate 2.To ascertain for any correlation between blood sugar and hemodynamic parameters on Induction with Propofol and Etomidate Timepoint: Hemodynamic parameters will be monitored prior to induction and then at every 5 minutes starting from general anesthesia induction till 30 minutes.
