Brief Summary  

Dexmedetomidine (DEX) has been shown to provide good perioperative haemodynamic stability with decreased intraoperative opioid requirements. It may have neural protective effects, and thus may be a suitable anaesthetic adjuvant to neurosurgical anaesthesia.Dexmedetomidine caused a dose-related reduction in both CBF and CMR in healthy subjects. anticipated adverse effects of dexmedetomidine on the cerebral oxygen supply– demand relation, i.e., the CBF/CMR ratio, were not apparent during either normocapnia or hypocapnia. The data contradict those of previous investigations in dogs that indicated that dexmedetomidine does not cause a reduction in CMR.The effect of dexmedetomidine on autoregulation has not been well studied,especially in the context of its use as an anaesthetic adjuvant and its documented effect of reduction of the cerebral blood flow, which may be of clinical relevance in the intraoperative context. Therefore this study was designed to study the effect of dexmedetomidine on cerebral autoregulation during its use as an anaesthetic adjuvant.

Primary outcome:

1.      to study the effect of dexmedetomidine as an anaesthetic adjuvant on cerebral autoregulation and CO2 reactivity using transcranial doppler

Secondary outcomes:

1.      effect of dexmedetomidine on intraoperative haemodynamic parameters during various stages of anaesthesia

2.      anaesthetic agent consumption

3.      time to recovery, extubation and quality of emergence

4.      side effects and complications noted with the technique
