Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Dexmedetomidine and Gabapentin as premedication  All the patients aged 4-10 yrs. who are posted for elective surgeries will be undergoing routine pre-anesthetic checkup according to institute protocol. Patient eligibility screening will be conducted during pre-anesthetic checkup at least a day before surgery. After obtaining parent consent and ethical committee approval, children accompanied by one parent, will be taken to the pre-operative room. Parents will be informed about the benefits of usage of pre-medication, and written informed consent will be obtained from those opting to participate in the study. The eligible patients will be randomized to two groups: Group D – Dexmedetomidine and Group G -Gabapentin. The randomization allocations will be done by concealed seal envelopes. Baseline heart rate and SpO2 will be documented. The calculated dose for each patient will be given 30 minutes before anesthesia induction. After the administration of premedication, SpO2 and heart rate will be monitored at 5-minute intervals for a duration of 30 minutes.. Before shifting the patient to operating theater, each patient will be assessed for the degree of sedation using Ramsay Sedation Score at preoperative area. The Ramsay sedation score is graded from 1 to 6 as patient anxious and or agitated patient cooperative and oriented patient only responds to orders a brisk response to a light glabellar tap or loud auditory stimulus a sluggish response no response.  
Comparator Agent  Dexmedetomidine will be given transnasally  Dexmedetomidine 2 mcg/kg, in a single dose, a preparation of 100mcg/ml, administrated as intranasal drops ,evenly divided between each nostril, with the child in their mothers lap, facilitated by a tuberculin syringe. Spo2 and heart rate will be monitored at 5minute intervals for a duration of 30 minutes. . Before shifting the patient to operating theater, each patient will be assessed for the degree of sedation using Ramsay Sedation Score at preoperative area. The Ramsay sedation score is graded from 1 to 6 as patient anxious and or agitated patient cooperative and oriented patient only responds to orders a brisk response to a light glabellar tap or loud auditory stimulus a sluggish response no response. patient will be observed for a duration of 24 hours postoperatively 
Comparator Agent  Gabapentin will be given orally  Gabapentin in a dose of 15 mg/kg as single dosage will be administered as oral medication. Spo2 and heart rate will be monitored at 5minute intervals for a duration of 30 minutes. . Before shifting the patient to operating theater each patient will be assessed for the degree of sedation using Ramsay Sedation Score at preoperative area. The Ramsay sedation score is graded from 1 to 6 as patient anxious and or agitated patient cooperative and oriented patient only responds to orders a brisk response to a light glabellar tap or loud auditory stimulus a sluggish response no response. patient will observed for a duration 24 hours postoperatively
