Brief Summary   A prospective randomised double blinded study was undertaken in patients with anticipated difficult intubation. Two groups were taken Group A patient were given Dexmedetomidine iv infusion 1mcg/kg over 10min and Group B patients were given Dexmedetomidine iv infusion 1.5mcg/kg over 10min prior performing retrograde intubation and groups were compared in terms of haemodynamic parameters and patient comfort during the procedure. Patients hemodynamic parameters in terms of heart rate and blood pressure were significantly higher in group A as compared to group B and patients of group B were better sedated during the retrograde intubation as compared to grouqp A patients. In terms of secondary outcome patientsfrom group B demonstrated better results in terms of patient reaction to intubation  cough severity, recall of procedure , discomfort during the procedure and use of ketofolas rescue therapy during the procedure as compared to group A. however in terms of ease of intubation, tolerance to endotracheal tube, intubating time and complications no significant difference was found between the two groups. In conclusion dexmedetomidine in a dose 1.5mcg/kg provide better intubating condition, hemodynamic stability, adequate sedation and patient comfort during retrograde intubation.
