Measure
Sevoflurane
In the Operating Room (OR) after applying routine monitors, anesthesia will be induced with a mask using Sevoflurane up to 8%. Sevoflurane will be used for maintenance for the rest of the procedure with dosage between 1.5% and 4%. Vitals will be monitored. Fentanyl will be used as needed. Rocuronium will be used as needed for muscle relaxation. At the end of the procedure twitches will be evaluated and muscle relaxation will be reversed. Sevoflurane will be turned off at the end of procedure. Sevoflurane: Sevoflurane up to 8% will be administered to study subjects
Dexmedetomidine (Precedex®)
These subjects will receive Dexmedetomidine intravenously. In the OR routine monitors will be placed. Vitals will be monitored. A loading dose of Precedex 1mcg/ kg will be given over 10 minutes. Infusion will be started using Precedex 1mcg/ kg/ hr and can be increased or decreased as needed. Fentanyl will be used as needed. Rocuronium will be used as needed for muscle relaxation. At the end of the procedure twitches will be evaluated and muscle relaxation will be reversed. Precedex infusion will be stopped at the end of the procedure. Dexmedetomidine: Dexmedetomidine (Precedex) infusion starting at 1mcg/ kg/ hr will be administered to study subjects.
Propofol
These subjects will receive propofol for anesthesia maintenance. In the OR routine monitors will be placed. Vitals will be monitored. A loading dose of Propofol 2mg/ kg will be given over 2 minutes. Infusion will be started using Propofol 50 mcg/ kg/min and can be increased or decreased as needed (range 50-300mcg/kg/min). Fentanyl will be used as needed. Rocuronium will be used as needed for muscle relaxation. At the end of the procedure twitches will be evaluated and muscle relaxation will be reversed. Propofol infusion will be stopped at the end of the procedure. Propofol: Propofol up to 50 mcg/ kg/min will be administered to study subjects.

Outcome measures

Outcome measures
Measure
Dexmedetomidine (Precedex®)
n=2 Participants
These subjects will receive Dexmedetomidine intravenously. In the OR routine monitors will be placed. Vitals will be monitored. A loading dose of Precedex 1mcg/ kg will be given over 10 minutes. Infusion will be started using Precedex 1mcg/ kg/ hr and can be increased or decreased as needed. Fentanyl will be used as needed. Rocuronium will be used as needed for muscle relaxation. At the end of the procedure twitches will be evaluated and muscle relaxation will be reversed. Precedex infusion will be stopped at the end of the procedure. Dexmedetomidine: Dexmedetomidine (Precedex) infusion starting at 1mcg/ kg/ hr will be administered to study subjects.
Propofol
n=1 Participants
These subjects will receive propofol for anesthesia maintenance. In the OR routine monitors will be placed. Vitals will be monitored. A loading dose of Propofol 2mg/ kg will be given over 2 minutes. Infusion will be started using Propofol 50 mcg/ kg/min and can be increased or decreased as needed (range 50-300mcg/kg/min). Fentanyl will be used as needed. Rocuronium will be used as needed for muscle relaxation. At the end of the procedure twitches will be evaluated and muscle relaxation will be reversed. Propofol infusion will be stopped at the end of the procedure. Propofol: Propofol up to 50 mcg/ kg/min will be administered to study subjects.
Sevoflurane
n=3 Participants
In the Operating Room (OR) after applying routine monitors, anesthesia will be induced with a mask using Sevoflurane up to 8%. Sevoflurane will be used for maintenance for the rest of the procedure with dosage between 1.5% and 4%. Vitals will be monitored. Fentanyl will be used as needed. Rocuronium will be used as needed for muscle relaxation. At the end of the procedure twitches will be evaluated and muscle relaxation will be reversed. Sevoflurane will be turned off at the end of procedure. Sevoflurane: Sevoflurane up to 8% will be administered to study subjects

Rocuronium will be used as needed for muscle relaxation. At the end of the procedure twitches will be evaluated and muscle relaxation will be reversed. Sevoflurane will be turned off at the end of procedure. Sevoflurane: Sevoflurane up to 8% will be administered to study subjects
Dexmedetomidine (Precedex®)
n=7 participants at risk
