Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  The effect of Dexmediotomidine on motor evoke potential in neuromuclar monitoring  Dexmeditomidine is a common drug used in neuromuscular monitoring for MEP in spine cases along with sevoflurane . It is more sedative and cause delay awakening in patients.The infusion will starts intravenously at a dose of 0.5mcg/kg/hr infusion immediately after induction of anesthesia and will continue through out the surgery till the intraoperative neuromonitoring stops. The MEP will be measured in specific intervals at 30 minutes, after positioning to prone and after 30 minutes and 1 hour during surgery. Along with MEP, the intraoperative utilization of opioid (fentanyl) is also assessed.The hemodynamic effects of the infusion is also measured during the monitoring  
Intervention  The effect of lignocaine infusion on motor evoke potential in spine cases  Lignocaine has been used as an adjuvant to inhalational anesthesia to measure the motor evoke potential in spine cases. The infusion will starts immediately after induction of anesthesia and will continue through out the surgery till the intraoperative neuromonitoring stopps. The MEP will be measured in specific intervals during surgery. Along with MEP, the intraoperative utilization of opioid (fentanyl) is also assessed.The hemodynamic effects of the infusion is also measured during the monitoring

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Compare the Lignocaine infusion and Dexmedetomidine infusion on Motor evoked potential during intraoperative neuromonitoring 
 
The measurement of motor evoke potential  after 30 minutes initial bolus of infusion. Then subsequent measurement immediately after positioning prone and 30 minutes and one hour of surgery, The time interval between the stoppage of the infusion and patient response to call also will ne taken 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Dose of intraoperative fentanyl,hemodynamic variables,awakening time from end of infusion.   dose of fentanyl and isoflurane at end of surgery haemodynamic variables 3,5 minutes after bolus and after positioning then every 30 minutes.Time taken to awake after infusion

Brief Summary   This is a randomized observational study conducted in 168 patients undergoing surgery under general anesthesia. There will be 2 groups of patients. One group of patients will be those who are receiving dexmediotmidine as an adjuvant to general anesthesia.  Other group consists of patients receiving lignocaine as an adjuvant.Both group receive general anesthesia as per standard protocol. The patients motor evoke potential will be noted after 30 minutes, after positioning the patient prone and 30 minutes and 1 hour.Hemodynamic variables will be noted along the same time. At the endo surgery intraoperative fenatnyl consumption is noted. The time interval between the  ending of infusion and the response of the patient  to call by eye opening will bw also recorded .The date from both will be be compared.
