Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Hemodynamic parameters - Mean arterial pressure( MAP)  Baseline values will be recorded (average of 3) prior to start of study drug. At 0,5 and 10 mins hemodynamic parameters and BIS are recorded. Then at induction , intubation and incision. In between recordings at 15 min interval. At stopping study drug and starting atracurium. Followed by stopping atracurium and tapering propofol. Again recordings will be taken at emergence and extubation 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
Hemodynamic parameter SBP and DBP, HR, BIS
Requirement of other annaetshetic drugs propofol, atracurium.
Vas score post extubation
Analgesic requirement.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   The goals of Neuroanaesthesia are to ensure stable perioperative stable hemodynamics and avoid sudden rise in intracranial pressure (ICP) to prevent acute brain swelling. Craniotomy is associated with intense surgical stimuli causing sympathetic activation which results in marked changes in systemic arterial pressure and cerebral blood flow and hence raised ICP and reduction in cerebral perfusion leading to cerebral ischemia especially in patients with impaired cereberal autoregulation. Hence prevention and control of nociceptive stimulus are of utmost importance. Dexmedetomidine is alpha 2 agonist having sedative, anxiolytic, analgesic and sympatholytic properties. Ketamine is N - methyl D- Aspartate antagonist producing sedation, catalepsy, somatic analgesia and snympathetic nerve  stimulation. This comparison studies aim to assess efficacy of these drugs on intraoperative hemodynamic stability, requirements of other anaesthetic agents, emergence, assessment of postoperative pain and side effects.
