Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The Following Parameters will be statistically analysed:
1)Incidence of Etomidate
Induced Myoclonus.
2)Grading of Etomidate
Induced Myoclonus.
3)Incidence of Any Adverse
Effects. 
Study drug will be administered over 10 minutes as per group allocation.Once infusion is completed, this time will be labelled as 0 and 0.3mg/Kg Etomidate will be given I/V. Patients will be obeserved for Myoclonus for 2 minutes. Hemodynamics will be recorded every 1 minute for initial 10 minutes and then every 5 minutes till end of 60 minutes.

Brief Summary   This Prospective, Randomized, Double Blinded study will be conducted on  120 ASA I or II patients of age 18-60 years, posted for elective surgery under General Anesthesia in the Department of Anesthesia, DMCH, Ludhiana after ethical committee clearance. Patients will be randomly allocated to either of four groups as per computer generated random numbers. Group A  will be given 10 ML of isotonic saline, whereas, Groups B, C, D will be administered Dexmedetomidine in a dose of 0.25 mcg/kg,0.5 mcg/kg and 1mcg/kg respectively in 10 ml of  isotonic saline over 10 minutes .Once infusion is over, this time will be labelled as 0 and 0.3 mg/kg Etomidate will be given intravenously over 30 seconds. Patients will be observed for Myoclonus for 2 minutes which will be graded accordingly. Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Hemoglobin saturation will be recorded after every 1 minute for initial 10 minutes and then every 5 minutes till end of 60 minutes. Incidence of adverse effects ( Hypotension , Bradycardia, Tachycardia, Hypertension) will be recorded.Results will be tabulated and statistically analysed.
