AB  - Head  and  neck  surgery  requires  a  cooperative  relationship  between  surgeon  and  anesthesiologist.  This  is  especially  true  in  surgical  procedures  involving  the  airway.  In  fact,  in  most  situations  a  common  bond  exists  between  otolaryngologist  and  anesthesiologist.  In  critical  situations,  where  airway  compromise  is  anticipated,  it  is  the  anesthesiologist  and  the  otolaryngologist  who  have  the  best  appreciation  for  the  severity  of  the  situation.  In  this  chapter,  we  will  discuss  briefly  the  pharmacology  of  more  commonly  used  drugs  in  anesthesia.  While  a  majority  of  these  drugs  are  used  by  anesthetists  in  monitored  conditions,  these  drugs  may  also  be  used  in  procedures  requiring  conscious  sedation.  It  is  hence  of  great  importance  for  the  physician  or  nurse  involved  in  conscious  sedation  to  be  knowledgeable  about  the  use  and  limitations  of  drugs  used  in  conscious  sedation.
