Clinical Trial Summary

difficult problem in the paediatric age group because of their small mouth opening and un-cooperativeness.Currently used methods of sedation for fibreoptic intubation such as benzodiazepines, propofol or opioids may cause respiratory depression, especially when used in high doses


Clinical Trial Description

Dexmedetomidine, an a2-agonist, has none-to-minimal respiratory depressant effects, which is clearly a great advantage in handling a critical (unstable, difficult) airway while inducing sedation in both adult and infants. The aim is to compare intubation conditions between dexmedetomidine and sevoflurane inhalation during fibreoptic intubation in pediatric patients with an anticipated difficult intubation ;
