Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
patients experiencing more than 30% decrease in systolic, diastolic or mean arterial blood pressure and the number of patients experiencing bradycardia(HR less than 40bpm) for more than one minute. We will also measure the maximum change of these variables from the baseline in each patient ( the percentage change)Timepoint: every 2.5 minutes for the first 15 minutes and every 5 minutes there after for 2 hours after drug administration
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
The secondary outcome will be the maximum sedation levels being achieved in these patients, [excessive sedation (MOAAS less than or equal to 3 ), hypoventilation with RR less than 8 per min, drop in SpO2 to less than 92% for more than a minute and the need for airway support; nausea and vomiting within 6 hours of administration of Dexmeditomedine, time taken to achieve the maximum sedation levels. The surgeon satisfaction score with the patient cooperation during surgery will be given by the operating surgeon.Timepoint: Levels of sedation, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation levels will be noted every 2.5 min after drug administration for the first 15 minutes and every 5 minutes there after for 2 hours.
