Topical Airway Anesthesia for Awake-endoscopic Intubation Using the Spray-as-you-go Technique with High Oxygen Flow

The topical anesthetic lidocaine was atomized using a high oxygen flow through the working channel of a flexible intubating endoscope to achieve topical airway anesthesia for awake endotracheal intubation. We prefer this modified spray-as-you-go technique for endoscopic intubation to classical bolus application because of higher patient satisfaction and better compliance.
FAQs
The gas stream supplies the force that breaks the liquid sample into droplets during nebulization. By generating an aerosol rather than introducing the bulk liquid directly, it enables the downstream spray chamber to act on droplet size. This controlled breakup helps deliver a more consistent fraction toward the inductively coupled plasma.
The spray chamber separates droplets according to their behavior as they move through the aerosol path. Larger droplets are removed by inertial impaction, gravity, or both, while finer particles continue toward the inductively coupled plasma. This size selection limits unsuitable liquid transport and promotes more consistent atomization and ionization.
Large droplets would increase the amount of solvent carried toward the plasma. Their removal reduces solvent loading before atomization and ionization, helping the instrument receive a finer, more controlled aerosol. The resulting reduction in liquid burden supports signal stability and makes the analytical introduction step more consistent.
Its controlled aerosol conditioning reduces variation in the material reaching the plasma. By excluding larger droplets and limiting solvent loading, the system supports steadier atomization and ionization, which can produce more consistent analytical signals. This is especially relevant when liquid samples are measured by inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry or mass spectrometry.
A liquid sample first encounters the nebulizer, where a gas stream creates droplets. The resulting aerosol passes into the spray chamber, which removes larger droplets through inertial impaction, gravity, or both. Finer particles then proceed to the inductively coupled plasma, where controlled introduction supports subsequent atomization and ionization.
In chemistry, this interface supports elemental analysis with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry. It contributes controlled aerosol delivery, reduced solvent loading, and more stable signal behavior. These functions make sample introduction more consistent before the plasma produces the measurement used for elemental analysis.
