Patients are divided into 2 groups. Group A patients are nebulized with dexmedetomidine with the dose of 2mcg/kg (total of 5 ml). Group B patients are nebulized with 5 ml of normal saline.

Our primary objective is to compare the pain score (NRS) at 15, 30 mins, 1, 2, 6, 12, 24 hr and total dose of rescue Analgesia (Tramadol) used in both groups in first 24 hour. Secondary objective is to compare sedation score (Ramsay), incidence of delirium and post operative sore throat in both the groups.

Inclusion criteria include ASA Physical status I and II, 18 to 65 years of either sex, Weight of 45 to 90 kg, Height of 150 to 180cms and Patients undergoing elective laparoscopic cholecystectomy surgery.

Exclusion criteria include ASA Physical status III and IV, Patient unwilling, Haemodynamically unstable patients, Duration of surgery exceeding more than 2 hour, History of any allergy to general anesthetic agents, Significant history of drug/alcohol abuse, Patients with comorbidities (hypertension, diabetes), conversion of laproscopic cholecytectomy to open cholecytectomy.
