Summary
Title: Comparing Two Methods of Topical Anesthesia for Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy
Purpose: To compare the effectiveness of two methods of anesthesia, pre-procedure lignocaine spray (PPL) and spray-as-you-go (SAYG), in reducing discomfort and improving operator comfort during fiberoptic bronchoscopy.
Study Design: Randomized controlled trial Participants: 50 patients undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy Interventions: Patients received either PPL or SAYG anesthesia
Outcomes:
* Pain perception
* Cough severity
* Operator comfort
* Procedure duration
Results:
* Both PPL and SAYG methods were effective in reducing pain and discomfort
* No significant differences were observed between the two groups in pain perception, cough scores, or procedure duration
* Operator comfort scores showed a trend favoring PPL, but the difference was not statistically significant
Implications: Both PPL and SAYG methods can be effectively used for fiberoptic bronchoscopy, with potential implications for procedural efficiency and patient outcomes.
