Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Control(normal saline nebulization)  3-4 ml normal saline will be administered as nebulization to patients 30 minutes before induction of anaesthesia 
Intervention  Dexmedetomidine nebulization  1 microgram/kg dexmedetomidine in 3-4 ml normal saline will be administered as nebulization to patients 30 minutes before induction of anaesthesia 
 
Inclusion Criteria  
Age From  18.00 Year(s)
Age To  60.00 Year(s)
Gender  Both 
Details  Adult patients posted for elective surgery will be recruited into the trial after obtaining their written informed consent. The dexmedetomidine group will receive nebulization with 1 microgram/kg dexmedetomidine diluted in 3-4 ml normal saline 30 minutes before induction of anaesthesia. Heart rate and blood pressure responses to laryngoscopy and intubation will be recorded for 10 minutes after laryngoscopy. The normal saline group (control) will receive nebulization with normal saline (3-4 ml) 30 minutes before induction of anaesthesia and heart rate and blood pressure responses to laryngoscopy and intubation will be recorded for 10 minutes after laryngoscopy.  
 
ExclusionCriteria 
Details  Patients who undergo emergency surgeries, have known or unanticipated difficult airway and those who are on anti-hypertensive medications will be excluded from the trial.

Brief Summary   Laryngoscopy and intubation cause increase in heart rate and blood pressure which may be harmful in patients with coronary artery, cerebrovascular or intracranial disease. Various drugs like opioids, beta blockers and calcium channel blockers, local anaesthetic agents and alpha-2 receptor agonists have been tried to obtund this response with varying degrees of success. Dexmedetomidine, an alpha-2 receptor agonist, when tried by the intravenous route is effective in minimizing this response but causes hypotension and bradycardia. Nebulized route will have the advantage of minimal systemic effects. Thus, it would be of value addition to study whether the inhaled route of administration of dexmedetomidine is effective in minimizing the hemodynamic effects of laryngoscopy and intubation without causing the systemic side effects of hypotension and bradycardia. Till date, no trial has ever studied the effect of nebulized dexmedetomidine on the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation.
