A significant number of patients with short VCD in our study group could be at risk of endobronchial intubation with many of the tracheal tubes. Patient height and thyrosternal distance can be useful in predicting short tracheas.

Background. We explored the sympatholytic property of dexmedetomidine, especially its role in intraocular pressure (IOP) reduction, haemodynamic stability, and attenuation of extubation response.
