Interventional Study of Dexmedetomidine for Sedating Anticipated Difficult Airway Patients Undergoing Awake Fiberoptic Nasal Intubation
Case number: 60, ASA I-III oral cancer patients with limited mouth opening
Patients will be randomly allocated into three groups, Dex group received dexmedetomidine
(1.0 mcg/kg) infusion, Control group received saline, and Propofol group received 1%
