Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Intervention  Dexmedetomidine  Dexmedetomidine is an α-2 agonist which has property of good anxiolysis, sedation and analgesic action.This study compares different doses of dexmedetomidine -0.5 mcg/kg and 0.75 mcg/ kg intravenous with normal saline given over 10 minutes before intubation to arrive at an optimal dose of dexmedetomidine for attenuation of stress response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation 
Comparator Agent  Placebo  this study compares different doses of dexmedetomidine with normal saline,which is the placebo to arrive at an optimal dose of dexmedetomidine for attenuation of stress response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation

Brief Summary  

This study is a cross sectional study conducted at St. Johns medical college hospital in the year 2022-2023 .Written informed consent of patient or attenders will be taken prior to participation in the study. General anaesthesia involves placing a tube in your windpipe in order to help you breathe during surgery .This placement of the tube is associated with an increase in your blood pressure and heart rate which can be stressful for your body. 

Dexmedetomidine is a drug which has property of good anxiolysis, sedation and analgesic action. It also decreases the dose and Minimum Alveolar Concentration (MAC) value of inhalational anaesthetic agents and prevents postoperative nausea, vomiting and shivering and allows psychomotoric function to be preserved while letting the patient rest comfortably.

 

This study  compares different doses of dexmedetomidine and comparing it with normal saline to arrive at an optimal dose of dexmedetomidine for attenuation of stress response to laryngoscopy and endotracheal intubation. Secondary objective is to assess the sedation after the drug infusion based on Ramsay sedation score.
