Brief Summary

**AIMS AND OBJECTIVES:**



Study “COMPARISON OF DEXMEDETOMIDINE-PROPOFOL VERSUS

FENTANYL-PROPOFOL FOR INSERTION OF BLOCKBUSTER LMA UNDER

GENERAL ANAESTHESIA - A RANDOMIZED DOUBLE-BLINDED CLINICAL

TRIAL†will be done in 120 ASA grade I & II patients to compare: -



1. **Primary objective-**

ï‚· Monitoring of haemodynamic parameters,

ï‚· ETCO2 and

ï‚· SpO 2 during insertion of device

2. **Secondary objective-**

ï‚· Quality of insertion : (a) Ease of insertion

(b) Number of attempts

(c) Time taken for insertion



ï‚· Manoeuvres used for intubation

ï‚· Peri- and post-operative complications



**SAMPLE SIZE SELECTION:**

Sample size will be calculated by using open epi software version 6, open source

calculator ss proper, at power 80% and 95% confidence interval is 40 in each group.



**SELECTION OF GROUPS:**

The patients will be randomly divided into 3 groups with 40 in each group, using

computer generated random numbers.

 Group PD - 1 µg/kg dexmedetomidine diluted to 10 ml with 0.9% normal saline

(NS) over ten minutes by an infusion pump followed by 5 ml of NS over 2 minutes.

 Group PF - Injection fentanyl 1 µg/kg diluted to 10 ml with 0.9% NS over 10

minutes by an infusion pump followed by 5 ml of NS over 2 minutes.

 Group P – only 10ml NS & 5ml NS will be given over 10mins and 2 mins

respectively by an infusion pump.
