Brief Summary   Conventional laryngoscopy and endotacheal intubation cause significant changes in hemodynamics of patients i.e. increase in heart rate and blood pressure and precipitate arrhythmias which may lead to ischemia and myocardial infarction. In present study dexmedetomidine will be used in combination with fentanyl to attenuate this response.  The aim of study is to study the effect of dexmedetomidine over and above fentanyl in attenuating the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation.
In this prospective randomized double blind placebo controlled trial 100 patients will be selected and divided into 2 groups of 50 each. Baseline parameters like body weight , pulse rate and blood pressure will be recorded. Inj.glycopyrolate and inj. fentanyl will be given as premedication. Test drug ( dexmedetomidine/ placebo) will be given by infusion in a double blind fashion. Rate of infusion is adjusted according to body weight. Induction of anesthesia is done with inj. propofol (2mg/kg) and inj. rocuronium (0.8 mg/kg).  laryngoscopy and intubation is done 120 seconds after induction. Blood pressure pulse rate oxgen saturation is recorded at 5, 10, 13 ( just before intubation)   , 14 ( just after intubation), 15, 18, 20 , 25 min after start of infusion. Any intraoperative complication will be noted.Patient will then be extubated at end of procedure after the onset of spontaneous respiration. Statistical anaylsis will be done  using various tests like student-t-test and results and conclusion will be made.
