The use of drugs for airway control has its beginnings in medical anaesthesia. Since then, the 'airway effects' of pharmacological agents have sometimes been a matter of concern, while at other times a boon for the clinician. While several effects of agents on airway function are 'off-target effects', an understanding of these effects could aid in better choice of the drug to be administered to the patient.
