Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. To evaluate the effect of different doses of dexmedetomidine and clonidine as
adjunct agent on hemodynamics in patients undergoing elective surgical procedures
under regionalanaesthesia.
2. To evaluate the effect of three different doses of ketamine-propofol combination as
inductionagentonrecoveryprofileofpatientsundergoingelectivesurgicalprocedures under
generalanaesthesia. 
Haemodynamic variables such as heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP),
diastolic bloodpressure (DBP) and mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) will be
monitored at baseline (Prior to intravenous injection), immediately post injection and upto 120 minutes(3,6,10,15,30,45,60,75,90,105,120minutes) 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the evaluation of different doses of dexmedtomidine & Clonidine as an
adjuvant on hemodynamic & recovery profile in patients undergoing elective
surgicalprocedures under regional anaesthesia.
To check sideeffects of both the drugs in patients undergoing elective surgical procedures
under regional anaesthesia 
PONV,vomiting,headache & tachycardia to be assesed after immediate end of surgery to hourly upto 6 hours(1,2,3,4,5,6hours respectively)

Brief Summary   Subarachnoid block is widely used for infraumbilical surgeries but is often limited by shorter duration of blockade and less postoperative analgesia.Alpha2 adrenergic agonist such as clonidine and dexmedetomidine when given intravenously enhance block duration ,provide stable haemodynamics and better postoperative analgesia.Clonidine ,a partial alpha 2 agonist and dexmedetomidine a more selective agent differ in potency and clinical profile.This study compares iv clonidine and iv dexmedetomidine as adjuncts to subarachnoid block(motor and sensory),..focusing on extent,duration and postoperative analgesia and haemodynamic stability to establish more effective agent for infraumbilical surgeries
