Intervention  Comparison of psychomotor recovery in patients receiving either intravenous propofol or dexmedetomidine infusions as part of balanced general anaesthesia  Group Dexmedetomidine(Group D) 1.All participants will receive an IV loading dose of 0.5 mL/kg (1 µg/kg bolus)over 10 min and 2.A maintenance IV infusion of 0.25 mL/kg/hr(0.5µg/kg/hr) will be kept. Group Propofol(Group P) This group of patients will receive iv loading dose of normal saline of 0.5ml/kg over 10 mins followed by an infusion dosage of 75µg/kg/min of propofol for maintenance .

Individual Participant Data (IPD) Sharing Statement

Will individual participant data (IPD) be shared publicly (including data dictionaries)?  

Response - NO
Brief Summary   Immediate post-operative recovery forms a prerequisite for any successful anaesthetic procedure- especially so in day care surgeries.  
The DSST, primarily measures visual recording and includes a motor component. It is an useful indicator of changes in sensory processing performance induced by psychoactive tests.
There are only a few studies comparing psychomotor effects of dexmedetomidine and propofol. We hypothesise that a good DSST score indicates a better recovery from anaesthesia which can translate to an early discharge from a limited bed available Post Anaesthesia Care Unit (PACU) to postoperative ward. Therefore, we would like to compare the above drugs using DSST as a measure of psychomotor recovery surgeries under general anaesthesia
