Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Comparision between the anxiety scores of patients in both intervention and comparator group during the procedure

Anxiety score:
0: Patient quiet and comfortable
1: Patient uneasy
2: Patient worried or anxious
3: Patient very worried or very upset.
 
Anxiety score will be recorded 15 mins before the procedure(baseline) and during the procedure  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare both the groups on basis of hemodynamic stabillity  Observation taken at
1. 15 mins prior to procedure
2. During procedure
3. 1 min, 5min, 10 min and 30 min post procedure 
to compare both groups on terms of sedation scoring according to Ramsay scale

Ramsay Sedation scale-
1.Anxious, agitated or restless
2.Cooperative, oriented and tranquil
3.Sedated but responds to command
4.Asleep, brisk glabellar reflex, responds to loud noise
5.Asleep, sluggish glabellar reflex or responds to loud noise
6.Asleep with no response to painful stimulus 
This will be evaluated just prior to insertion of the bronchoscope 
To compare the patient comfort score in both the groups
Patient comfort score-
1 Cooperative
2 Minimal resistance
3.Severe resistance 
it is to be observed during the procedure 
To compare airway obstrction score in both groups
Airway obstruction score:
No obstruction
Obstruction relieved by head extension
Jaw thrust required 
It will be observed during insertion of fiberoptic bronchoscope  
To compare the cough score of both the groups
Cough Score-
1.No cough
2.Slight Cough
3.Moderate cough
4.Severe cough 
It will be observed during insertion of the bronchoscope

Brief Summary   The purpose of my study is to compare the effect of oral Gabapentin with nebulized Dexmedetomidine in maintaining anxiety & hemodynamic stability in the patients undergoing awake fiberoptic intubation. 
It is a prospective, double blind, randomized control trial which is to be done over a time period of 1 year.
