Interventions
ketamine and dexmeditomidine combination
Group KD: Two syringes containing ketodex-ketamine (1 mg/kg) and dexmedetomidine (1 µg/kg)-each diluted with 0.9% saline and infused over 10 minutes. Maintenance will consist of continuous low-dose infusion of ketamine (0.3 mg/kg/h) and dexmedetomidine (0.5 µg/kg/h) in separate syringes until 15 minutes before the end of surgery.
Fentanyl (IV)
Group OP: Two syringes-one containing fentanyl (2 µg/kg) and the other 0.9% saline-infused over 10 minutes. Maintenance will be provided by two continuous saline infusions, prepared to mimic the ketodex infusions, until 15 minutes before the end of surgery.
