Dexmedetomidine vs. midazolam-ketamine for sedation during awake fiberoptic nasal intubation in patients with difficult airway - A randomized, double-blinded, comparative trial
Both dexmedetomidine and midazolam-ketamine combinations were equally effective for sedation during AFNI in patients with difficult airways scheduled for orofacial maxillary surgery. Patients receiving dexmedetomidine were more sedated, but the incidence of side effects was similar in both groups.
