| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Main Objective: To study the effect of dexmedetomidine on behaviour of electroencephalogram (EEG), electromyogram, electrocardiogram, plethysmographic pulse wave, and skin conductance during adequate propofol anaesthesia and noxious stimuli. Noxious stimuli mean endotracheal intubation, tetanic stimulus of ulnar nerve, and skin incision.;Secondary Objective: To study the effect of dexmedetomidine on EEG-based indices of anaesthetic state (Entropy and BIS) during propofol anaesthesia and noxious stimuli.;Primary end point(s): The alterations in measured physiological signs in association with noxious stimuli. | — |
