To Evaluate Effect of Nebulized Dexmedetomedine Upon Blunting Autonomic Response of Laryngoscopy and Intubation in Patients Undergoung Elective Intubation

Laryngoscopy and intubation are painful stimuli ,that results in adverse physiological outcomes,like tachycrdia ,hypertension,arrythmiaa,pulmonary edema.

The main objective of study is to blunt the autonomic response of laryngoscopy and intubation.

Title of the study :To evaluate the effect of dexmedetimedine nebulization upon blunting autonomic response of laryngoscopy and intubation in patients undergoing elective intubation.

It is randomized control trial,sample size was calculated by using openEpi sample size calculator By using SBPafter 1 min of laeyngoscopy in decmedetomedine versus group were 113.2+_14.503and 125.92+_15.263 respectively,power 95 percent and confidence 95 percent ,The required sample size for the study is 72( 36 ) in each group.

After taking informed consent patients are randomly divided into two groups via opaque sealed envelop technique.Half of envelops will be labelled as letter D ,and half will be labelled as letter C .Patients in group D will be nebulized with dexmedetomedine with dose of 1ug/kg made total volume of 5 ml with normal saline.While group C will be nebulized with 5 ml of 0.9 percent normal saline 30 min prior to elective intubation.Hemodynamic parmmeters heart rate ,systolic bp,diastolic bp,MAP will be noted at baseline and 0,1,5,10 min after inrubation

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Dexmedetomedine nebulization in group D
Dexmedetomedine nebulization done with a dose of1ug /kg 30min prioor to induction of general anaesthesia
After taking informed consent ,patients are divided into 2 groups by using opaque sealed envelop technique ,half envelope were labelled with letter D ,half were labelled with letter patients in group D will be nebulized wirh dexmedetimedine wuth dose of 1ug/kgwith made total volune of 5ml by mixing with norml saline 30 min prior to intubation
Active Comparator: Normal saline nebulization in group C
Normal saline nebulization done 30min prior to induction of general anaesthesia,hemdynamic parameters heart rate,systolic bp,diastolic bp,MAP,will be noted at baseline,0,1,5,10 min after intubation
Groyp c will be nebulized with normal saline 30 min prior to intubation,hemodynamic parameters heart rate,systolic bp ,diastolic bp,MAP, will be monitored at baseline,0,1,5,10 min after intubation.
