Summary
Remifentanil provides analgesia, suppresses airway reflex, has little effect on cognitive
function. It can be used for conscious sedation during awake nasotracheal fiberoptic
intubation. Target-controlled infusion is more reliable technique for maintaining optimal
infusion rate than manual controlled infusion. The aim of this study is to determine the
effect site concentration of remifentanil for successful conscious sedation during awake
nasotracheal fiberoptic intubation.
