Brief Summary   SUMMARY

Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation cause sympathetic stimulation in human body which will be easily tolerated by healthy people. The haemodynamic responses caused by sympathetic stimulation will be significant in unhealthy subjects. So many drugs have been used for studies for blunting those responses like lignocaine, nalbuphine, clonidine etc. Dexmedetomidine is also one of those drugs which have been studied for these purpose by many authors. Effect of the drug in blunting the haemodynamic responses was found to be dose dependant. But in high doses significant incidences of adverse effects was documented. 

The cited study is planned as a randomised double blinded controlled study using low dose ( 0.5 mcg/kg ) Dexmedetomidine to blunt the haemodynamic responses to laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation. The drug/placebo will be infused to the patients in 100ml Normal saline , 10 minutes before induction of general anaesthesia. Haemodynamic parameters will be noted in regular intervals perioperatively. The response in haemodynamic parameters will be compared and analysed afterwards by unpaired t test and repeated measures by ANOVA followed by Tukey’s test. Incidence of side effects will be also noted. Qualitative meausres will be analysed by chi square test. P value less than 0.05 will be considered significant
