Summary
Flexible bronchoscopy is common procedure used in the diagnosis and treatment of a variety of
tracheobronchial diseases. During routine diagnostic flexible bronchoscopy, the most
distressing symptom experienced by the patients is a cough, and control of a cough is vital
for a successful procedure. The investigators hypothesized that either nebulized lignocaine
or lignocaine spray given alone prior to flexible bronchoscopy for inducing topical
anesthesia will have similar efficacy compared to the combination of the two agents.
