Study arms

  • Experimental
    nebulised dexmedetomidine

    participants will receive nebulised dexmedetomidine 1 microgram/kg diluted in 5ml normal saline via nebulised over 5 minutes, administered 30 minutes before induction of anesthesia. standard monitoring of hemodynamic parameters will be done at baseline, 1 minute and 3 minutes post-intubation

    Drug: Dexmeditomidine

  • Placebo comparator
    nebulised saline

    participants will receive nebulised 5ml normal saline via nebulised over 5 minutes, administered 30 minutes before induction of anesthesia. standard monitoring of hemodynamic parameters will be done at baseline, 1 minute and 3 minutes post-intubation.

    Drug: Normal Saline (0.9% Sodium Chloride)

Interventions

  • DrugDexmeditomidine

    dexmeditomidine 1mcg/kg diluted in 5ml 0.9% sodium chloride, administered via nebulizer over 5 minutes, 30 minutes prior to anesthetic induction .

  • DrugNormal Saline (0.9% Sodium Chloride)

    normal saline 5 ml administered via nebulizer over 5 minutes, 30 minutes prior to anesthetic induction.

What researchers measure

Primary outcomes

  1. change in mean artirial pressure and heart rate after lyrangoscopy and intubation

    hemodynamic stress response measured as change in mean arterial pressure and heart rate from baseline. MAP and HR will be recorded at baseline T0, 1 minute post intubation T1 ans 3 minute post intubation T3. Significant stress response is defined as rise in MAP nad HR more than 10% of baseline at 3 minutes post intubation.

    Time frame: baseline, 1 minute and 3 minute post intubation
