5 Versus 10 Sprays of Lignocaine for Pharyngeal Anaesthesia During Bronchoscopy

Summary

Flexible bronchoscopy is one of the most widely performed procedures for diagnosis of various bronchopulmonary diseases. Most patients tolerate the procedure well although cough is often reported as a distressing symptom. It is likely that the acceptance of bronchoscopy would be significantly improved with control of cough. Topical lignocaine is administered during bronchoscopy for local anaesthesia. There is uncertainty regarding the adequate dose of lignocaine sprays for pharyngeal anaesthesia during flexible bronchoscopy. This study would help to determine the optimal dose of lignocaine sprays for pharyngeal anaesthesia during flexible bronchoscopy.
