Randomized Controlled Trial
Premedication with intravenous dexmedetomidine-midazolam suppresses fentanyl-induced cough.
The incidence of fentanyl-induced cough (FIC) occurs frequently during induction of general anesthesia, and methods to prevent it are needed. In this study, we hypothesized that premedication with intravenous dexmedetomidine-midazolam can suppress FIC effectively. ⋯ Pretreatment with dexmedetomidine-midazolam could completely suppress FIC caused by fentanyl 3 μg/kg injection within 2 s.
