Summary

This study tested giving extra numbing medicine (lidocaine or alfentanil) through an IV just before inserting a bronchoscope (a tube to look at the lungs). The goal was to see if it could prevent severe coughing when the doctor sprays anesthetic inside the airway. 108 adults having lung procedures took part. The results may help make these procedures safer and more comfortable.
