Abstract: Aim: To compare the efficacy of and safety of dexmeditomidine versus nitroglycerine during hypotensive anaesthesia induced by either drug in adult patients posted for elective spine surgeries.

The study drug dexmeditomidine was given to group DX in the dose of 1 micro gram/kg body weight in a 600 seconds infusion before induction diluted to 10 ml with normal saline followed by maintenance dose at infusion rate of 0.2- 0.7 microgm/kg. The group NG received 10 ml plain normal saline over 600 seconds before induction followed by maintenance dose of nitroglycerine at an infusion rate of 0.5-10 microgm/kg/min. different parameter were compared in both the groups.
