Conditions
Healthy human volunteers posted for elective surgeries belong to ASA grade I AND II

Brief Summary

Dexmedetomidine in various doses and routes has been studied such as intravenous, intranasal, intramuscular to decrease the hemodynamic response to laryngoscopy and Endotracheal intubation.

However,intravenous administration may cause bradycardia and hypotension and intranasal administration may be associated with irritation.

This studt is about how  Nebulised Dexmedetomidine may offer an alternative to both intravenous as well as intranasal routes of administration,since the drug deposition following nebulization takes place over nasal, buccal as well as respiratory mucosa.  The nasal mucosa accounts for 65% of the bioavailability of nebulised Dexmedetomidine,while buccal mucosa accounts for 82%.
