Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Measurement of Systolic, diastolic and mean blood pressures during surgery. Heart rate, number of episodes of hypotension and hypertension will also be recorded  Recordings will be baseline before intubation, after intubation, after proning the patient and every 15 minutes till end of surgery. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
1. To compare intraoperative analgesic requirements, blood loss and recovery time from anesthesia  Total dose of fentanyl and propofol needed during surgery and blood loss at the end of surgery will be calculated. All measurements will be completed by the end of surgery
