A significant decrease m pulse rate and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were observed .when compared with baseline m both groups throughout the surgery but the fall in pulse rate and MAP was greater with Dexmedetomidine infusion up to 45 minutes after spinal anaesthesia when compared with Midazolam Dexmedetomidine in Group D showed a better grade of Ramsay's Sedation score compared to inj.
