A comparative evaluation of use of dexmedetomidine versus fentanyl for anesthesia induction with propofol for insertion of laryngeal mask airway
Abstract
Background: Airway management is one of the prime concerns for anesthesiologists. Dr Archibald Brain invented a supraglottic airway device – ‘Laryngeal Mask Airway (LMA) which keeps a patient’s airway open during anesthesia. When propofol is used along with either fentanyl or dexmedetomidine, it provides stable
