Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  iv dexmedetomedine  Group D patients will receive iv dexmedetomidine 1mcg/kg over 10 min.Patients will be preoxygenatated and standard anaesthesia protocol will be followed after this. Hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation will be assessed at 1, 3, 5, 10 min. 
Intervention  oral pregabalin  Group P patients will receive oral pregabalin 150 mg 1 hour prior to surgery.Patients will be preoxygenatated and standard anaesthesia protocol will be followed after this. Hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation will be assessed at 1, 3, 5, 10 min.

Brief Summary   This is a prospective, randomised, double blind, single centre study which aims to compare the efficacy of oral pregabalin and intravenous dexmedetomidine for attenuating the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation in patients scheduled for elective surgery under general anaesthesia. A total of 60 patients will be recruited, 30 in each group. HR, SBP, DBP and MAP will be noted at 1 min, 3 min, 5 min and 10 min postintubation. Side effects if any will be noted. Data will be compiled and appropriate statistical tests will be used to compile the results.
