Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, end tidal carbon dioxide level, SpO2, Fiso will be notedRecorded at baseline, after induction, after intubation, 1, 3, 5 minutes after intubation, before and after study drug , before and after skullpin insertion, 1, 3, 5, 10, 15, 20 minutes after skullpin insertion
