Abstract | Background: Methods: Prospective double-blind study on 60 patients with the American Society Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade I and II were randomly divided into two groups. Group DM received a loading dose of dexmedetomidine 1 µg/kg over 10 min followed by a maintenance dose of 0.5 µg/kg/h and Group FM received a loading dose of fentanyl 2 µg/kg/h for over 10 min followed by 1 µg/kg/h maintenance dose. Data were analyzed using a Chi-square test or Student's 't' test. Results: The group DM was hemodynamic stable as compared to group FM. The perturbation during extubation emergence was significantly lower in group DM as compared to that in group FM. A total of four patients were severely agitated in group FM, whereas it was absent in group DM. Severe agitation was significantly different between Group FM and Group DM. The visual analog scale (VAS) was lower among patients of Group DM as compared to Group FM at all times except at 4 h. Conclusions:
