We report the use of dexmedetomidine for laryngoscopy, rigid bronchoscopy, and tracheal extubation in the operating room in two children who had undergone tracheal reconstruction 1 week previously. Dexmedetomidine in combination with propofol provided appropriately deep anesthesia during these brief but stimulating procedures without cardiovascular or respiratory depression.

Background: Using neuromuscular blocking agents (NMBA) in pediatric induction protocol is a challenging matter. Therefore, in this study, we aimed to find a safer way for anesthesia in children. We compared the effects of dexmedetomidine with atracurium on intubation conditions in children aged 6-12 years under general anesthesia.

Background: Extraction of wisdom tooth is one of the most common surgical interventions, as it is more prone for impaction. Due to the pain and anxiety associated with the procedure, it is common to do this procedure under conscious sedation. However unexpected events do occur during the procedure and one such complication along with the prompt management is discussed here.

Background: Laryngoscopy and tracheal intubation are related to sympathetic stimulation and lead to hypertension and tachycardia. These changes in hemodynamics may increase the risk of myocardial ischemia. As a result, effective blunting of these unpleasant responses is required.

Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effectiveness of different sedation methods (dexmedetomidine, nalbuphine, and placebo) in improving patient comfort during awake direct laryngoscopy (ADL) for airway evaluations before anesthesia.
- - Results showed that patients receiving nalbuphine reported significantly better tolerance and satisfaction scores compared to those in the control and dexmedetomidine groups, and experienced fewer adverse effects like pain and nausea.
- - The findings suggest that using intravenous nalbuphine alongside nebulized lidocaine enhances patient comfort and reduces complications during ADL, making it a useful approach for managing difficult airways.

Objective: Laryngoscopy induces potent noxious stimuli causing reflex autonomic activation manifested by an increase in blood pressure and heart rate (HR). Various drugs with different routes have been tried to prevent this response. The literature comparing inhalational dexmedetomidine with intravenous (IV) dexmedetomidine to prevent laryngoscopy response is limited.
