Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The primary outcome of the study will be to compare intravenous dexmedetomidine with nebulised dexmedetomidine as premedication for attenuation of laryngoscopic and intubation response.  Vitals will be recorded on starting the study drugs and after every 5 minutes interval till the endotracheal tube is inserted. Also, vitals will be recorded immediately after intubation, 1,3 and 5 minutes after intubation thereafter every 5 minutes up to 30 minutes after insertion of endotracheal tube than at extubation. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
The secondary outcome of the study will be to study and compare the sedation score and
to study and compare the complications encountered with the two routes 
Sedation score will be calculated at 20 mins after giving drug and any complications will be noted during whole procedure.

Brief Summary  

Dexmedetomidine is well known to attenuate the laryngoscopic response when administered intravenous, however its adverse effects have limited its use. Various studies have been done to study effectiveness of intranasal dexmedetomidine. however there has been no mention of the comparison of side effects between the two routes. Studies with nebulization with dexmedetomidine are limited.

The proposed study intends to use a different route of administration(nebulization) to determine its efficacy in attenuation of laryngoscopic response with lesser incidence of adverse effects.

A human clinical study only can provide insight in to such issues.
