Group F (fentanyl group)
Group D (dexmedetomidine group)
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.
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.
