Brief Summary  
Dexmedetomidine an α 2 agonist has replaced propofol as primary maintenance anaesthetic.
Ketamine, an N-methyl aspartate antagonist(NMDA antagonist), at subanaesthetic doses,
poses centrally mediated analgesic property with minimum effect on
consciousness and cognition.
it is aimed  to replace the bolus dose of dexmedetomidine with subanaesthetic dose of
ketamine for better hemodynamic stability.
Psychomotor tests address the intermediate recovery of the patient and also it denotes
the restoration of the patient to street fitness.
Digit symbol substitution test, a form of pen and pencil test used for assessing cognition,
memory attention ,and it also correlates with real world functional outcomes like the ability
to accomplish everyday tasks.
