Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Ketamine and midazolam combination as induction regimen prior to endotracheal intubation  Critically ill children requiring endotracheal intubation will receive a combination of ketamine (1mg/kg) and midazolam(0.1mg/kg) in boluses as induction agents prior to intubation. HR, ECG and BP will be recorded at baseline and at 1,3,5,7,10,15,20,25 and 30 minutes after intubation to look for adverse hemodynamic events. Other complications of intubation also will be recorded. 
Comparator Agent  Midazolam and fentanyl combination as induction regimen prior to endotracheal intubation  Critically ill children requiring endotracheal intubation will receive a combination of midazolam(0.1mg/kg) and fentanyl(1microgram/kg) in boluses as induction agents prior to intubation. HR, ECG and BP will be recorded at baseline and at 1,3,5,7,10,15,20,25 and 30 minutes after intubation to look for adverse hemodynamic events. Other complications of intubation also will be recorded.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Incidence of adverse hemodynamic events defined as bradycardia defined as heart rate less than 60 minutes or hypotension requiring fluid bolus/inotrope or fall in systolic blood pressure by 30% of pre intubation value or increase in inotrope/vasopressor requirement by 30% from pre intubation requirement or cardiac arrest with or without ROSC from the beginning of induction up to 30 minutes after intubation  Before intubation and at o,1,3,5,7,10,15,20,25 and 30 minutes after endotracheal intubation  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Incidence of other Tracheal Intubation associated Adverse Events (TIAEs) defined as trauma, emesis with or without aspiration, endobronchial/esophageal intubation, dysrhythmia, laryngospasm, pneumothorax  Trauma and laryngospasm will be assessed at the time of intubation.
Dysrhythmias and emesis will be assessed at baseline and at 0,1,3,5,7,10,15,20,25,30 minutes after endotracheal intubation
Endobronchial intubation and pneumothorax will be confirmed by chest Xray after endotracheal intubation.  
Proportion of the encounters requiring neuromuscular blocker use   At the time of intubation 
Proportion of encounters requiring repeat doses of sedatives to achieve adequate sedation
(State 1/2 as assessed using Pediatric Sedation State Scale)

Brief Summary   We will be conducting a feasibility ,pilot, open label RCT to see if use of induction regimens containing ketamine reduce the incidence of tracheal intubation related adverse events in critically ill children. We will enrol eligible children aged 2months to 18 years admitted in pediatric wards, HDU and PICU of the department during the study period. The children will be randomised to 2 groups. One group will receive midazolam- fentanyl combination while the other will receive ketamine-midazolam combination prior to tracheal intubation.Both the groups will receive premedication of glycopyrrolate. Heart rate, ECG and blood pressure of the patients will be monitored at baseline and at 1,3,5,7,15,20 and 30 minutes after intubation. The child will be managed for the underlying illness as per the unit protocols. Primary and secondary outcome measures are measured.
