Brief Summary  

Spinal surgeries involve hemodynamic alterations, blood loss, anaesthetic and analgesic requirements. With the use of increasing doses of opioids in the intraoperative period, there have been incidents of central sensitization, allodynia and post operative nausea and vomiting.

Dexmedetomidine has been widely used as an anaesthetic adjuvant for its opioid sparing effects. It decreases sympathetic tone, reduces heart rate and has the propensity to develop hypotension. 

Ketamine has also been used as an anaesthetic adjuvant in low doses for its opioid sparing effects3 and reduced post operative nausea and vomiting. Ketamine stimulates the cardio-respiratory system and can have psychomimetic adverse effects.

 A combination of dexmedetomidine and ketamine has low incidence of adverse effects, good analgesic, predictable recovery and no cardiorespiratory depression and reduce opioid usage.


The primary aim of our study will be, to compare its effect on intraoperative analgesic and anaesthetic requirements. The secondary aim will be, to compare intraoperative hemodynamic profile, blood loss during the surgery and emergence from anaesthesia.
