Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
When propofol is used alone for induction, it produces minimal analgesia and large doses are required to induce general anaesthesia. Excessive depth of anaesthesia, and significant cardiovascular and pulmonary depression may result. To overcome these drawbacks, sedative and analgesics have been co-administered with propofol for anaesthesia induction. Dexmedetomidine has analgesic and sedative properties. Premedication of this drug can significantly reduce the requirement of propofol for induction of anaesthesia. Fentanyl reduces the median effective concentration of propofol for various noxious stimuli by 50 %. Fentanyl combined with propofol also has a depressive effect on haemodynamics. Also, a high target concentration of propofol itself (8 mg/ml) decreased MBP and increases frequency of apnea. 

The present research is aimed to determine whether low dose Dexmedetomidine (0.5 mics/kg) is sufficient to decrease the propofol requirement for anaesthesia induction. We therefore intend to compare the median effective concentration (EC50 ; the concentration at which loss of consciousness occurred in 50 % of patients) of propofol for induction of anaesthesia comparing dexmedetomidine with fentanyl. We aim to determine the predicted EC50 of propofol for I-gel insertion(airway device) using TCI (Diprifusor) and will compare the propofol requirement for induction with fentanyl and low dose dexmedetomidine in patients undergoing elective ambulatory day care surgeries. We will be recording the BIS, haemodynamics, adverse events during induction and number of attempts of I-gel insertion, emergence time and duration of PACU stay.
