BACKGROUND: Nasotracheal intubation of @entity1 with @entity1348 ( @entity1348 ) @entity3947 is a challenge for anesthesiologists. Awake fiberoptic intubation (AFOI) is the safest technique in @entity1 with difficult airway. This study compares 3 different techniques of conscious sedation during AFOI in @entity1 with @entity1348 @entity3947 . METHODS: This study comprised 54 @entity1 , American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1, scheduled for @entity1348 surgery. The @entity1 were randomly allocated to @entity1937 group (n = 18, 0.75  g/kg over 30 seconds), @entity3652 group (n = 18, 0.25 mg/kg over 30 seconds), or @entity1875 group (n = 18, 0.5 mg/kg over 30 seconds) for conscious sedation. The main determinants affecting the @entity1 's outcome included intubation time, intubation conditions, and @entity1 discomfort, which were determined by scoring system. In addition, postoperative @entity1 dissatisfaction, hemodynamic stability, and @entity1576 were measured. RESULTS: Intubation times were significantly different between groups (P < 0.001), where @entity1937 had the shortest time (30.28 seconds). Intubation conditions (scores 0-3) were significantly different between groups (P < 0.001).In this context, @entity1937 had score 3 (2-3), which was higher compared with 2 (1-3) for @entity3652 and 2 (1-2) for @entity1875 . @entity1 discomfort score was lowest in the @entity1937 group. Hemodynamic stability was maintained within groups, and its changes were not significant (P > 0.05). Postoperative @entity1 's dissatisfaction was observed in 2, 3, and 5 @entity1 in @entity1937 , @entity3652 , and @entity1875 groups, respectively. @entity1576 ( @entity386 ) recorded lowest in the @entity1937 group. CONCLUSIONS: @entity1937 was the best agent for AFOI, because it provided shorter intubation time, better intubation conditions, and least @entity1 's complaint.Iranian registry no.: IRCT 201208061674N4 (www.irct.ir).
