Brief Summary  

This study investigates the comparative effects of subanesthetic intravenous (IV) ketamine plus lignocaine versus IV dexmedetomidine on intubating conditions and hemodynamic stability during awake fiberoptic intubation (AFOI) for anticipated difficult airways. The study is a randomized, triple-blinded clinical trial involving 68 patients aged 18-60 with anticipated difficult airways. Participants will be assigned to receive either a combination of IV ketamine (0.3 mg/kg bolus followed by 0.3 mg/kg/hr infusion) and lignocaine (1.5 mg/kg bolus followed by 1.5 mg/kg/hr infusion) or IV dexmedetomidine (1 mcg/kg over 10 minutes followed by 0.2-0.7 mcg/kg/hr infusion). Primary outcomes include the effectiveness of achieving optimal intubating conditions, assessed by Modified Observer’s Assessment of Alertness/Sedation (OAA/S), endoscopy and intubation times, endoscopist satisfaction, and patient discomfort. Secondary outcomes include hemodynamic parameters, opioid requirements, and incidence of adverse events. The study aims to determine if the ketamine-lignocaine combination offers superior intubating conditions and better hemodynamic stability compared to dexmedetomidine.
