We report a case of awake, fiberoptic tracheal intubation of a difficult airway (Ludwig's angina) using remifentanil as part of the sedation-analgesia regimen. Remifentanil's rapid onset-rapid offset pharmacokinetic profile enabled precise control of the level of opioid effect. In combination with other drugs, remifentanil may offer some clinical advantages compared to the other fentanyl congeners in providing the opioid component of conscious sedation-analgesia for awake tracheal intubation in patients with difficult airways.
