Summary
Endobronchial Ultrasound Guided Transbronchial Needle Aspiration (EBUS -TBNA) is commonly
performed for diagnosis of mediastinal pathologies. The procedure can either be performed
under general anaesthesia or under moderate sedation with topical anaesthesia. Most patients
tolerate the procedure well although cough is often reported as a distressing symptom.
Topical lignocaine is administered during endobronchial ultrasound for local anaesthesia.
There is limited literature on the efficacy of transtracheal/transcricoid injection versus
spray as you go method for lignocaine delivery to the airways during EBUS-TBNA. This study
would help to determine the procedure comfort for the patient while using the
transtracheal/transcricoid method vs the spray as you go method.
