Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the SBP immediately after intubation in Group D (Dexmedetomidine) versus Group L (Lignocaine)Timepoint: Immediately after intubation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare between the two groups: 1. Systolic blood pressure(SBP) at 2 minutes and 5 minutes after intubation. 2. Diastolic blood pressure(DBP), mean arterial pressure(MAP) and heart rate(HR) at baseline and at intubation, 2 minutes and 5 minutes after intubation. 3. Consumption of propofol for induction of anaesthesia. Timepoint: 2 minutes and 5 minutes after intubation;To compare between the two group: 1. Salivary alpha amylase levels at baseline and 5 minutes post intubation 2. Serum cortisol levels at baseline and 5 minutes post intubation.Timepoint: Pre- operative and 5 minutes after intubation;To compare between the two groups: 1. Sedation in post operative period 30 minutes after extubation.Timepoint: Post operative
