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.
