Brief Summary  
Objective of the research project: To assess the post-operative opioid sparring effect of
perioperative Dexmedetomidine infusion in patients undergoing neurosurgical procedures with
post-operative Morphine consumption.
The primary objective is the comparison of cumulative morphine consumption in 24hrs
(PCA and initial titration)
Secondary objectives include comparing the time to first request for post-operative
analgesia, assessment and comparison of post-operative pain with Numerical rating
scale
