Influence of Speed of Fentanyl Citrate Injection before Induction of Anesthesia on Fentanyl-Induced Cough: a Prospective,Randomized, Double Blinded Study

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.
