Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Dexmedetomidine  dexmedetomidine, a newly developed drug being used clinically for sedation in intensive care units has shown exciting prospects. It is an α‑2 agonist acting on adrenoceptors in many tissues including the nervous, cardiovascular, and respiratory systems. This α-2 adrenergic receptor agonist has sedative, analgesic and sympatholytic effects and is now widely used as an adjuvant in general anesthesia, spinal canal anesthesia, nerve block anesthesia, topical anesthesia and postoperative analgesia. Dexmedetomidine has a half-life of 2 hours. It acts on the central nervous system at the locus coeruleus, where it induces electroencephalographic activity similar to natural sleep. It also reduces catecholamine secretion, thereby reducing stress and leading to a modest decrease in heart rate and blood pressure. Patients will receive injection dexmedetomidine 1μg/kg IV over 10 minutes followed by continuous infusion starting at 0.3 μg/kg/hr. This will be incremented by 0.1 μg/kg/hr up to 0.7 μg/kg/hr till adequate sedation score is achieved  
Comparator Agent  Midazolam and fentanyl combination  Midazolam is a type of benzodiazepine. It has a rapid onset, a short duration of action and various pharmacologic properties such as anxiolytic, hypnotic and anterograde amnesic effects. Midazolam increases pain perception. In low‑dose midazolam has little influence on circulatory dynamics. Midazolam has a half‑life of 2.5 hours, and after repeated administration, there may be delayed recovery and hangover effects, such as excessive sleepiness and psychomotor impairment. Moreover, it also depresses the ventilator response to carbon dioxide and results in respiratory depression. Fentanyl is a member of the phenylpiperidine class of opiate agents. It is a μ-selective opioid agonist used in severe cases of pain in patients with renal failure owing to its primarily hepatic elimination. Its high lipid solubility allows rapid entry across the blood–brain barrier, resulting in a rapid onset of action which is less than 60 seconds. It has a half-life of 90 minutes and duration of action of nearly 30–60 minutes. Its peak effect is within 2–5 minutes of drug administration. Fentanyl usually exerts its analgesic effect at 1–1.5 mcg/kg. For moderate sedation, it is used with midazolam and its dose is titrated. Patients will receive injection midazolam 0.03 mg/kg IV and injection fentanyl 1 μg/kg IV bolus over 10 minutes followed by continuous infusion of midazolam 0.03 – 0.07 mg/kg/hr and fentanyl 0.5 – 1.5 μg/kg/hr till adequate sedation score is achieved

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the effect of dexmedetomidine versus midazolam & fentanyl combination on post-operative psychomotor functions after middle ear surgeries done under local anesthesia  Baseline psychomotor assessment and delirium assessment will be done 30 minutes prior to the shifting of patient to operation theatre and after completion of surgery both will be assessed at 1hour, 2 hour, 4 hour and 8 hour 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the effect of dexmedetomidine versus midazolam & fentanyl combination on anesthesia recovery in post-operative period  Anesthesia recovery will be assessed at every 30 minutes starting from the time of shifting of patient to post anesthesia care unit till the time patient is discharged from Post anesthesia care unit. 
To compare the effect of dexmedetomidine versus midazolam & fentanyl combination on post-operative pain and sedation  Pain of the patient will be assessed every 30 minutes starting from the time of shifting of patient to post anesthesia care unit till the time patient is discharged from PACU
Intra operative Sedation level will be assessed every 10 minutes.Post operative sedation will be at 1 hour, 2 hour, 4 hour and 8 hours after completion of surgery

 
To compare the effect of dexmedetomidine versus midazolam & fentanyl combination on hemodynamic parameters in post-operative period  Hemodynamic parameters will be checked 30 minutes prior to surgery and at every 15 minutes for first 30 minutes during the surgery and then at every 30 minutes till the end of surgery. In post-operative period, parameters will be checked at every 30 minutes till the patient is discharged from PACU

Brief Summary  

 
The aim of this study is to compare the effect of dexmedetomidine versus midazolam and fentanyl combination on post-operative psychomotor functions and recovery in patients after middle ear surgeries done under local anesthesia. Thus this study will help us to choose a better sedative drug for short duration surgeries, so as to provide better sedation and analgesia to patients along with the advantage of producing lesser impairment of their psychomotor functions.
