Brief Summary  

    Patients planned for elective procedures will be approached prior to the study and patient information sheet  will be given
        Pre-anaesthetic checkup will be done on the day before surgery.
        An informed consent will be taken, and patient will be kept nil per oral for 6 hours prior to surgery.
        Premedication with T. Pantoprazole 40mg, T. Metoclopramide 10mg and T. Alprazolam 0.25mg will be given  on  the previous night and in the morning.
       The visual analogue system will be explained to all patients.
       IV access will be secured before the procedure. Preloaded with ringer lactate 500ml.
       Vital parameters will be monitored before and during the surgery using pulse oximetry, BP , continuous ECG,  etc.
Baseline hemodynamic parameters will be measured (SBP, MAP, HR, DBP)
 Inj. Ondansetron(4mg) and Inj. Midazolam(1 mg) will be administered IV 15 minutes prior to surgery.
Spinal anaesthesia to be administered with the patients in left lateral position at L3L4 space with 23-25 gauge spinal needle.
The drug to be loaded and handed over by one person not related to the study.

Group 1-patients to receive 0.5% bupivacaine 3ml with 0.5ml (25µg) fentanyl
Group 2- patients to receive 0.5% bupivacaine 3ml with 0.5ml (10µg) dexmedetomidine
 intraoperatively monitoring of blood pressure, pulse rate and saturation done at 5,10,15,20,25 and 30min after injection and subsequently every 15 min.
 
Onset of sensory blockade and onset of complete motor blockade to be recorded
Sensory block assessed by pinprick method 
 motor block assessed by Modified Bromage scale
Duration of sensory and motor blockade to be noted
Postoperatively pain score(VAS) assessed at 1hr for first 4h and at 6,12and24h; rescue analgesics will be given when VAS score is more than 4 or on patient request for pain relief; duration of analgesia to be noted.
 Any fall in heart rate below 50/min to be treated with atropine 0.6mg
 Fall in systolic blood pressure below 20% of the baseline to be managed with inj. Ephedrine 6 mg in increments.
Any signs of respiratory depression noted to be dealt with oxygen supplementation and assisted ventilation.
