Abstract
Fentanyl Induced Coughing (FIC), with the incidence ranging from 18-65%; is not always benign and brief and can be remarkably troublesome, spasmodic, explosive at the most critical moment of induction of anesthesia when airway reflex is lost, attracting immediate emergency intervention. We designed this study to evaluate the effect of injection time on fentanyl induced cough.
