Asthma and IV sedation in nose job?

Question

I am aware of the cons of IV sedation such as the lack of airway protection. Nevertheless, couldn’t it be beneficial for asthmatic patients since you avoid the increased risk of bronchospasm caused by intubation? Thanks in advance for the insight.

The anesthesia is basically IV Sedation, and the local anesthesia as well as the nasal nerve bloc contains a  compound called Epinephrine. This has a positive effect on providing improved airway and bronchodilatation.
