Anyone care to list their favorite recipe for awake fiberoptic intubations?
I haven't done enough to have a favorite, but these are the most common regimens I've seen so far.
Airway:
1. Cetacaine spray
2. Transtracheal lidocaine
3. Lidocaine nebulizer
Sedation:
1. Versed + Fentanyl
2. Versed + Precedex + Fentanyl
3. Precedex + Fentanyl
4. Versed + Ketamine
5. Precedex + Ketamine
6. Versed + Precedex + Ketamine
I've even seen small boluses of propofol added to the above.
