Response - NO
Brief Summary  

Use of ICG fluorescence-guided surgery can assist the surgeon in identifying the trachea-bronchial tree and hence prevent its injury intra-operatively. This may lead to improved post operative outcome and reduced post op stay of patient.

Use of ICG in an aerosol form via this nebulisation route has not been described to assess trachea-bronchial tree before and the aim of this study is to assess the feasibility and safety of the same.
