Afterthree minutes of IPPV, intubation will be performed bydirect laryngoscopy using appropriate size endotracheal tube. A single use highvolume low pressure cuffed ETtube (Tuoren) containing supra & subglotticport for drug instillation will be used for intubation which will be fixed andinflated by 3-5ml of air.After securing ETtube a total volume of 5ml drug (8mgdexamethasone diluted in 3ml normal saline or 100mcg dexmeditomidine diluted in3ml normal sline) will be given in supra & subglottic area through  supra & subglottic port of ET tube(Tuoren).
