AbstractWe present the first report of the use of remifentanil and propofol target-controlled infusion to sedate a patient with a difficult airway undergoing awake fibreoptic intubation. This regimen was rapidly titratable, aided suppression of airway reflexes, maintained patient comfort and cooperation and did not compromise spontaneous respiration. The literature regarding infusion rates and potential complications of this technique is reviewed.
