Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
1. To evaluate the effect of different doses of dexmedetomidine and clonidine as adjunct agent on hemodynamics in patients undergoing elective surgical procedures under regionalanaesthesia. 2. To evaluate the effect of three different doses of ketamine-propofol combination as inductionagentonrecoveryprofileofpatientsundergoingelectivesurgicalprocedures under generalanaesthesia.Timepoint: Haemodynamic variables such as heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic bloodpressure (DBP) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) will be monitored at baseline (Prior to intravenous injection), immediately post injection and upto 120 minutes(3,6,10,15,30,45,60,75,90,105,120minutes)

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
To compare the evaluation of different doses of dexmedtomidine & Clonidine as an adjuvant on hemodynamic & recovery profile in patients undergoing elective surgicalprocedures under regional anaesthesia. To check sideeffects of both the drugs in patients undergoing elective surgical procedures under regional anaesthesiaTimepoint: PONV,vomiting,headache & tachycardia to be assesed after immediate end of surgery to hourly upto 6 hours(1,2,3,4,5,6hours respectively)
