Randomized trial compares lignocaine airway anesthesia methods during bronchoscopy, suggesting implications for patient and operator comfort.
Background and objectivesFiberoptic bronchoscopy involves various topical airway anesthesia protocols, which can impact patient comfort, procedural ease, and overall outcomes. This study aimed to compare pre-procedure lignocaine spray (PPL) and spray-as-you-go (SAYG) airway anesthesia in terms of patient discomfort and operator comfort during fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
