Brief Summary:
compare the efficacy and safety of nebulized lidocaine, oropharyngeal lidocaine spray, or their combination for better outcome of topical anesthesia in subjects undergoing diagnostic FB; severity of cough , pain during procedure , cumulative dose of anesthesia needed and its adverse reaction , overall satisfaction .
Detailed Description:
Flexible bronchoscopy (FB) is a commonly performed procedure in the diagnosis and treatment of several respiratory disease. Although FB is generally a short procedure, it is uncomfortable for the patient. At least the use of topical anesthesia during FB is essential, especially when performed without sedation. Effective topical anesthesia blunts airway reflexes such as gag, cough, and laryngospasm.
The reduction in cough not only improves patient comfort but also makes the procedure easier for the operator.
Among agents used for topical anesthesia, lidocaine is the most widely used drug because of its safety and favorable pharmacokinetic profile.
Lidocaine is available in various formulations (gel or solution) and can be delivered to the respiratory passages by using different modes (spray, nebulization, transtracheal injection, bronchoscope instillation, and others).
In this study, will compare the efficacy and safety of nebulized lidocaine, oropharyngeal lidocaine spray, or their combination for topical anesthesia in subjects undergoing diagnostic FB, for better outcome.
