Supports fentanyl to blunt hemodynamic responses during fibreoptic intubation; extends RCT evidence for its adjunctive use in airway management.
Does fentanyl reduce the pressor and heart rate response to orotracheal fibreoptic intubation in healthy patients undergoing elective surgery?
Fentanyl 6 mcg/kg effectively attenuates the cardiovascular pressor and heart rate responses during orotracheal fibreoptic intubation under general anaesthesia.
Smith et al. (1992) studied this question.
