Brief Summary   Premedication for children is given  to relieve preoperative stress and anxiety as seen in paediatric patients undergoing any surgery.along with fear of separation from parents , this anxiety is present along with adverse outcomes via elevation of stress markers,hemodynamic instability and impacting postoperative recovery and unstable vitals.So to allay this preoperative anxiety and achieve smoother induction of anaesthesia,a variety of pharmacological and non pharmacological methods have been proposed. various medications have been used through intravenous routes, but still not acceptable due to fear of needle, so dexmedetomidine which is an alpha 2 agonist, through two different routes( intranasal and nebulised) along with oral ketamine which is a non barbiturate cyclohexanone derivative produces sedation,analgesia,amnesia and anxiolysis without respiratory depression.so we are going to compare two routes of dexmedetomidine along with oral ketamine in this study as a premedication and assess various outcomes like sedation score, parental separation anxiety scale,medication and mask acceptance scale,recovery time,FLACCscale,consolabilty scale,emergence agitation scale,wong baker scale,modified adrete scale  as  various studies have been conducted using intranasal dexmedetomidine and nebulised dexmedetomidine alone as well as in combination with ketamine with good analgesic and antianxiety effect,also these procedures are standard and routine and so we will make sure the comfort and safety of patient is not compromised and no financial burden is put on the patient.
