Brief Summary  

Dexmedetomidine is a highly selective alpha-2 adrenergic agonist. It is a short-acting sedative, hypnotic, anxiolytic, and analgesic with sympatholytic properties. Its pleiotropic effects have increasingly led to a reduction in anesthetic and analgesic requirements, hence used in the perioperative period. It can be used in various routes like intravenous, intramuscular, nasal, oral, subcutaneous, etc. In our study, we aim to study the efficacy of inhaled dexmedetomidine to intravenous dexmedetomidine in the suppression of intubation response.

 We hypothesize that dexmedetomidine, when given through the inhalation route, attenuates the intubation response with a better hemodynamic profile with minimal side effects in comparison with intravenous dexmedetomidine.
