Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Brief Summary   Patients suffering from spine problems, who are posted for spine surgeries in prone position, ASA I with no anticipated difficulty in intubation will be selected for the study.
These patients will be divided into two groups
1) Intervention group - These patients will be given Inj. Enalapril 1.25 milligram over 10 minutes
2) Comparator group - These patients will be given Inj. Clonidine 100 microgram over 10 minutes
For both the groups, general anaesthesia will be given according to standardised anaesthetic technique
Blood pressure and heart rate variability will be monitored during intubation and prone positioning
Hemodynamic status will be monitored throughout the surgery
Blood loss, Aldrete score and Surgeon’s opinion of the field will be assessed at the end of the surgery
Postoperative renal profile will be noted
