Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
To compare the magnitude of change and response time in ANI, SPI and hemodynamic parameters (HR and MAP) to various noxious stimuli between patients receiving OFA with dexmedetomidine and those receiving opioid analgesia with fentanyl for <br/ ><br>supratentorial craniotomies. <br/ ><br>(Response time is the time taken for the parameter to change maximally due to noxious <br/ ><br>stimuli from the pre-stimuli value, i.e. lowest for the ANI and highest for SPI, HR and <br/ ><br>BP) <br/ ><br>(Magnitude of change is the difference between highest/lowest value after stimulation as compared to baseline i.e. pre-stimuli value)Timepoint: Before starting analgesic drug infusion and after 5 min and 10 min of starting infusion. At Intubation, skull pin insertion, skin incision, first burr hole placement, and durotomy.
