Conditions

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The time for extubation

    Time from end of anesthesia till safe extubation of the patients

    30 minutes till end of surgery.

Secondary Outcomes (3)

  • Mean arterial blood pressure (MAP)

    Intraoperatively.

  • Heart rate (HR)

    Intraoperatively

  • Incidence of hypotension

    Intraoperatively

Study Arms (2)

Group F (fentanyl group)

EXPERIMENTAL

Fentanyl (1 μg/kg) was given intravenously slowly over 60 seconds before induction of anesthesia as a loading dose followed by continuous infusion at a rate of (1μg/kg/hr) after intubation. It was stopped 10 minutes before the end of surgery.

Drug: Group F (fentanyl group)

Group D (dexmedetomidine group)

EXPERIMENTAL

The patients were received a loading dose of dexmedetomidine (1 μg/kg) intravenously over 15 minutes before induction of anesthesia, followed by continuous infusion at a rate of (0.6 μg/ kg/ hr) after intubation and was stopped 10 minutes before the end of surgery.

Drug: Group D (dexmedetomidine group)

Interventions

Fentanyl (1 μg/kg) was given intravenously slowly over 60 seconds before induction of anesthesia as loading dose followed by continuous infusion at a rate of (1μg/kg/hr) after intubation and was stopped 10 minutes before the end of surgery.

Group F (fentanyl group)

The patients received loading dose of dexmedetomidine (1 μg/kg) (Precedex, Abbot Laboratories Inc., Abbot Park, IL, USA) intravenously over 15 minutes before induction of anesthesia followed by continuous infusion at a rate of (0.6 μg/ kg/ hr) after intubation and was stopped 10 minutes before the end of surgery.

Group D (dexmedetomidine group)
