- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To study the effect of intravenous dexmedetomidine on intraoperative hemodynamic stability and its role in postoperative analgesia following laparoscopic Stephen- Fowlerâ??s stage-2 orchidopexy under general anaesthesia in pediatric patients. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: Heart rate, systolic blood pressure, oxygen saturation, end-tidal CO2, temperature will be recorded every 5 minutes intraoperatively, and postoperatively for 15 minutes followed by every 30 min for 1 hour. Extubation quality will be graded at extubation. Agitation scores observed every 15 minutes for 1 hour. Pain score every 2 hours for 6 hours followed by every 4 hours for 24 hours. Time for first dose of rescue analgesic and time to discharge will be documented. <br/ ><br>
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method To study the effect of dexmedetomidine on airway reflexes and hemodynamic responses during tracheal extubation. <br/ ><br>Timepoint: Extubation
