Randomized Controlled Trial Comparative StudyPropofol versus sevoflurane for fiberoptic intubation under spontaneous breathing anesthesia in patients difficult to intubate.
The most recommended technique for the management of patients with a difficult airway is fiberoptic intubation (FOI). The aim of this study was to compare propofol and sevoflurane for FOI performance in patients who were difficult to intubate. ⋯ Propofol and sevoflurane provide a high success rate for the performance of FOI in patients who are difficult to intubate.
