Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Attenuation of pressor responses to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation under bispectral index- controlled general anaesthesia  Haemodynamic changes during laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation is assessed Duration of study is around 1 year  
Comparator Agent  To compare attenuation of the pressor responses to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation with two varying doses of dexmedetomidine (0.5 µg/kg and 1.0 µg/kg) under bispectral index- controlled general anaesthesia  compare the efficacy of two different doses of dexmedetomidine (0.5 µg/kg and 1.0 µg/kg) intravenous infusion in 100ml NS over 15 minutes before induction along with control group to find out optimal dose of dexmedetomidine in attenuation of pressor response to largyngoscopy and intubation when depth of anaesthesia is maintained at bi-spectral index (BIS) range of 40-60 in all patients

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The primary outcome of our study will be to assess haemodynamic changes (HR, SBP, DBP, MAP) from baseline upto 30 min after intubation.   Duration of study is around 1 year 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
secondary outcome will be assessment of sedation of patient using Ramsay Sedation Score (RSS) pre-operatively i.e before infusion with Dexmeditomidine and after completion of infusion. Intraoperative DOSAGE REQUIREMENT OF PROPOFOL for induction will also be noted in our study and the effect of two varying doses of dexmedetomidine on intraoperative DOSAGE REQUIREMENT OF PROPOFOL will be assessed.
Any associated SIDE EFFECTS/COMPLICATIONS 
Duration of study is around 1 year

Brief Summary  
The aim of our study is to compare attenuation of the pressor responses to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation with two varying doses of dexmedetomidine (0.5 µg/kg and 1.0 µg/kg) under bispectral index- controlled general anaesthesia in patients undergoing various elective surgeries under general anaesthesia in terms of :-

PRIMARY OBJECTIVES : 
Haemodynamic changes (heart rate, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, mean arterial pressure)

SECONDARY OBJECTIVES :
Sedation score (RSS) before and after dexmedetomidine infusion
Dose requirement  of induction agent (Propofol)
Complications/side effects, if any
