    Citation Excerpt :

    Inevitably the patient's tolerance and the success of fiberoptic-assisted intubation depends on the effectiveness of topical anaesthesia and obtundation of pharyngeal, laryngeal and tracheobronchial reflexes [3,4]. Prior to endoscopy, while the upper airway is commonly anaesthetized by local lignocaine spray or gel, the modalities of applying local anaesthetic to the larynx and lower respiratory tract include injection via the fiberoptic bronchoscope and transtracheal injection delivery via a nebulizer [5]. The aim of this study was to compare the three techniques of local anaesthesia using VAS and severity scale for patients undergoing awake intubation.
