Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  nebulization with 4% lignocaine and with 1 mcg/ kg dexmedetomidine prior to endotracheal intubation  Nebulization will be started 30 minutes before induction of anaesthesia, nebulization of lignocaine or dexmedetomidine will be prepared and administered by an independent investigator in the preoperative area. Nebulization will be carried out with a nebulizer face mask with oxygen at 8 L/min creating a fine mist till the entire volume will be dispersed, and this usually will take 15–20 minutes. It will be stopped when there will be no further mist. However, the investigator will be authorized to intervene if the patients will develop bradycardia, will experience increased sedation or decrease in peripheral oxygen saturation. In such an event, the nebulization will be stopped, and the patient treated will be accordingly 5 ml 4% Lignocaine nebulization to Group II (control group) will be administered using a nebulizer face mask with a continuous flow of 100% oxygen at 8 L/min for 15-20 min before induction of anaesthesia in supine position with head propped up (30-45) degree according to the group assigned.

In such an event, the nebulization will be stopped, and the patient treated will be accordingly. Dexmedetomidine 50 mcg (mixed with 0.9% normal saline to a total volume of 5 ml) nebulization to Group I (study group)will be administered using a nebulizer face mask with a continuous flow of 100% oxygen at 8 L/min for 15-20 min before induction of anaesthesia in supine position with head propped up (30-45) degree according to the group assigned.

Brief Summary   My thesis investigates the comparative effects of nebulized 4 % lignocaine versus 1mcg/kg Dexmedetomidine on hemodynamic changes during endotracheal intubation using C-MAC D blade videolaryngoscopy in patients under general anaesthesia. The study aims to assess heart rate, blood pressure variations and incidence of postoperative sore throat.  A total of 104 ASA I-II adult patients scheduled for elective surgeries will be enrolled and randomly assigned to two groups receiving either lignocaine or dexmedetomidine nebulization 30 minutes before induction.  The prospective, randomized, controlled study includes standardized anaesthesia protocols and independent monitoring. Outcomes will be statistically analyzed for significance in hemodynamic stability and postoperative discomfort.  The research adheres to ethical guidelines and has institutional clearance.  This study aims to identify a safer, more effective pre-intubation nebulizing agent potentially improving patient safety and comfort during anaesthesia by mitigating pressor responses commonly triggered by laryngoscopy and intubation. 

Aim
To compare the hemodynamic changes after nebulization with 4%lignocaine and 1mcg/kg Dexmedetomidine for endotracheal intubation in general anaesthesia. 

Primary objective 
To observe the effect of nebulization of 4%Lignocaine and nebulization of 1mcg/kg dexmedetomidine on heart rate and blood pressure after endotracheal intubation with C Mac D blade videolaryngoscopy 

Secondary Objective 
To observe the effect of nebulization of 4%Lignocaine and nebulization of 1mcg/kg Dexmedetomidine on postoperative sore throat after endotracheal intubation with C Mac D blade videolaryngoscopy. 

Methodology 
All eligible patients according to inclusion and exclusion criteria will be provided nebulization of the drug according to group allocated. The group allocation will be done using computer-generated randomization table depending on the nebulized drug used and closed sealed envelope technique will be used as blinding method. 
Nebulisation will be started 30 minutes before induction of anaesthesia., nebulization of lignocaine or dexmedetomidine will be prepared and administered by an independent investigator in the preoperative area. Nebulization will be carried out with a nebulizer face mask with oxygen at 8L /min creating a fine mist till the entire volume will be dispersed, and this usually will take 15-20 minutes.  It will be stopped when there will be no further mist. 
Dexmetomidine 50mcg (mixed with 0.9%normal saline to a total volume of 5ml ) nebulization to Group I (study group) and 5 ml 4%Lignocaine nebulization to Group II (control group) will be administered using a nebulizer face mask with a continuous flow of 100% oxygen at 8L/min for 15-20 minutes before induction of anaesthesia in supine position with head propped up (30-45) degree according to the group assigned. 

Outcomes measured 
1.The patients will be left undisturbed for a period of 10 minutes after intubation and the vital parameters like heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure, pulseoximetry spo2 and EtCO2 will be recorded at baseline, after nebulization, after induction, post-intubation, 1, 5 and 10 minutes and 2 hours post surgery 
2. Postoperative will assess the patient for postoperative pain and sore throat at 2-hr post-surgery.
