Enhanced Perioperative Safety and Comfort During Airway-Related Surgeries and Procedures With Dexmedetomidine-A Brief Review and Clinical Practice Experience.Dexmedetomidine, an α-2 adrenergic receptor agonist, provides analgesia, sedation, anxiolysis, sympatholysis and anesthetic-sparing effect, without inducing significant respiratory depression.  In this review, we focus on the advantages of dexmedetomidine in awake fiberoptic intubation (AFOI), diagnostic examinations and surgeries of patients with obstructed airways, and reducing emergence delirium effectively without causing further adverse events.  With increasing implementation in different anesthetic scenarios, dexmedetomidine provides a favorable option to enhance patient safety and comfort.
