Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  An intravenous single dose of dexmedetomidine 0.2mcgkg-1 diluted with isotonic saline to a volume of 10ml to be given over 10 minutes.  An intravenous single dose of dexmedetomidine 0.2mcgkg-1 diluted with isotonic saline to a volume of 10ml to be given over 10 minutes. After 5 minutes induction will be done with injection propofol 2mgkg-1. The assessing anaesthesiologist will use a specially designed composite pain scale to evaluate the level of propofol injection pain. The pain score is based on assessment of patients’ motor and verbal reactions, from time of propofol injection to loss of consciousness. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) will be recorded immediately before injection of study drug, pre-induction, post-induction, pre-intubation and post-intubation.  
Intervention  An intravenous single dose of dexmedetomidine 0.6mcgkg-1 diluted with isotonic saline to a volume of 10ml to be given over 10 minutes.  An intravenous single dose of dexmedetomidine 0.6mcgkg-1 diluted with isotonic saline to a volume of 10ml to be given over 10 minutes. After 5 minutes induction will be done with injection propofol 2mgkg-1. The assessing anaesthesiologist will use a specially designed composite pain scale to evaluate the level of propofol injection pain. The pain score is based on assessment of patients’ motor and verbal reactions, from time of propofol injection to loss of consciousness. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) and heart rate (HR) will be recorded immediately before injection of study drug, pre-induction, post-induction, pre-intubation and post-intubation.

Brief Summary   A prospective , randomized and double blinded study will be conducted in patients belonging to American society of anaesthesiology grade I and II between the age of 18-60 years of either sex and posted for elective surgery under general anaesthesia. All patients will be evaluated one day prior to surgery. Using random number table patients will be allocated to one of the two study groups comprising of 35 patients. Group A will receive an intravenous single dose of dexmedetomidine 0.2mcgkg-1 diluted with isotonic saline to a volume of 10ml to be given over 10 minutes. Group B will receive in intravenous single dose of dexmedetomidine 0.6mgkg-1 diluted with isotonic saline to a volume of 10ml to be given over 10 minutes. After 5 minutes induction will be done with injection propofol 2mgkg-1. The assessing anaesthesiologist will use a specially designed composite pain scale to evaluate the level of propofol injection pain. The pain score is based on assessment of patients’ motor and verbal reactions, from time of propofol injection to loss of consciousness. Pain graded on a 0-6 point scale, with a score >2 considered unacceptable. MAP and HR will be recorded immediately before injection of study drug , pre-induction, post-induction, pre-intubation and post-intubation. Complications such as bradycardia and hypotension will be recorded and treated accordingly.
