Dexmedetomidine versus Remifentanil for Sedation during Awake Fiberoptic Intubation

Table 3

Physiologic data of patients in the two groups. Data includes heart rate (bpm), respiratory rate (bpm), oxygen saturation (%), systolic blood pressure (mmHg), bispectral index level, and Ramsay sedation scale score.

	Remifentanil (REM)	Dexmedetomidine (DEX)
Heart rate (bpm)	89.15±14.38	84.71±16.86
Respiratory rate (bpm)	13.55±4.66	14.56±6.04
Oxygen saturation (%)	95.95±6.63	98.82±6.63
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)	124.4±20.89	130.1±25.89
Bispectral index level	87.38±15.43	83.05±18.01
Ramsay sedation scale score	3.06±0.73	2.60±0.84

There were no statistically significant differences identified.
