Brief Summary   This is a prospective, randomized, double-blinded study comparing the safety and efficacy of dexmedetomidine administered at 1µg/kg over 10 min. This is compared with a control group that receives injection 1mg midazolam and fentanyl 1µg/kg. The study will be done in patients requiring awake nasal fibreoptic intubation in view of difficult airway. The primary outcome measures will be the scores observed during fibreoptic scopy, intubation and post intubation.
