Response - NO
Brief Summary   Till date, numerous drugs and various routes have been tried to attenuate his stress response such as opioids, vasodilators, beta-blockers, calcium channel blockers, intravenous lignocaine, topical sprays, volatile agents, alpha 2 agonists but none of the agents proved to be ideal. Dexmedetomidine, a selective alpha 2 adrenoceptor agonist. is short acting and has sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, analgesic, anti-sialagogue, sympatholytic properties and promotes cardiac, respiratory and neurological stability. It’s pleiotropic effects have led to its increasing use in the perioperative period.
Dexmedetomidine has the potential to produce bradycardia and hypotension when administered as a bolus. In a way to overcome this problem, nebulization route was chosen. Moreover, nebulized dexmedetomidine has a bioavailability of 65% through the nasal mucosa and 82% through the buccal mucosa.. Nebulised drug administration may be preferred over intranasal administration, as it avoids transient nasal irritation, cough, vocal cord irritation or laryngospasm.
However, limited number of studies are available on the usefulness of the dexmedetomidine drug nebulization on the haemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and intubation. Thus, the primary aim of this study will be to evaluate the effect of preoperative dexmedetomidine nebulization on the heart rate and blood pressure response to laryngoscopy and intubation in adult patients. The secondary aim is to evaluate time to extubation and a 2 hour incidence of postoperative pain and sore throat.
