Target number of participants 100
Interventions Administration of local anaesthetic via either the standard "spray as you go" technique or nebulised through the bronchoscope via the ENK device (which has been used to assist in awake intubations previously. The same local anaesthesic agent is used for all participants with the volume used titrated according to the clinician's assessment of requirement. All patients complete a questionnaire greater than 24 hours following the procedure (and return it in a pre-addressed and stamped envelope). No additional follow up is required.
Primary outcome measure(s) Visual analoque scale assessments by doctor, nurse and patient regarding ease of procedure, extent of coughing and patient tolerance. Doctor and nurse questionnaires completed immediately following the procedure. Patient questionnaires completed more than 24 hours later (to ensure there is no lasting effect of any sedative medication used).
Secondary outcome measure(s) No secondary outcome measures
