Dexmedetomidine for conscious sedation in difficult awake fiberoptic intubation cases.
Currently used methods of sedation for fiberoptic intubation such as benzodiazepines, propofol, or opioids have their limitations. Dexmedetomidine (DEX) is a selective alpha-2 adrenergic agonist that has been used clinically for its sympatholytic, analgesic, and sedative properties. We report on 4 patients with particularly difficult airways who underwent successful awake fiberoptic intubation ...
متن کاملLearning fiberoptic intubation for awake nasotracheal intubation
Background Fiberoptic nasotracheal intubation (FNI) is performed if it is difficult to open the mouth or if intubation using laryngoscope is expected to be difficult. However, training is necessary because intubation performed by inexperienced operators leads to complications. Methods Every resident performed intubation in 40 patients. Success of FNI was evaluated as the time of FNI. First in...
متن کاملDexmedetomidine versus Remifentanil for Sedation during Awake Fiberoptic Intubation
This study compared remifentanil and dexmedetomidine as awake fiberoptic intubation (AFOI) anesthetics. Thirty-four adult ASA I-III patients were enrolled in a double-blinded randomized pilot study to receive remifentanil (REM) or dexmedetomidine (DEX) for sedation during AFOI (nasal and oral). Thirty patients completed the study and received 2 mg midazolam IV and topical anesthesia. The REM gr...
متن کاملComparing Sedation Regimens for Awake Fiberoptic Intubation
Correspondence To the Editor: In a single‑center, prospective, randomized double‑blind clinical study comparing dexmedetomidine‑ midazolam and sufentanil‑midazolam sedation regimens for awake fiberoptic intubation (AFOI) in 50 patients with difficult airways due to limited mouth opening, Li et al. show that both dexmedetomidine and sufentanil are effective as an adjuvant for AFOI under airway t...
