Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  Group 1 (LA)  Nebulisation with 3ml of 4% lignocaine (127.8 mg) through oxygen tubing will be done for 15 mins. 
Intervention  Group 2 (UAB)  Superior Laryngeal Nerve (SLN) block will be given by tracing the nerve bilaterally. with the help of ultrasonography using a linear probe. Intratracheal injection will be given through the Cricothyroid membrane. Under all aseptic precautions, 2ml of 2% lignocaine(41.6 mg) will be injected at the three sites (bilateral SLN block, intratracheal injection)-(total 127.8 mg).

Brief Summary  
To compare efficacy between  nebulized lignocaine and ultrasound guided airway  nerve blocks  for  awake  fiberoptic intubation. 
To assess cough reflex and gag reflex during awake fiberoptic intubation

A prospective, randomized, observer blinded study. Sample size - with confidence interval 95%, α is 0.05 , power of 80%, β is 0.2, 60 patients are needed. 

A written informed consent.
Randomly assigned into 2 groups by using sealed envelope technique.
Standard fasting protocol and anti-aspiration prophylaxis.
GROUP 1 (LA) – NEBULISATION WITH 4ML OF LIGNOCAINE 4%
GROUP 2 (UAB) – USG GUIDED  AIRWAY NERVE BLOCK – 2ml of 2% lignocaine - B/L superior laryngeal nerve and recurrent laryngeal nerve.
Confirmation of the tube in the trachea by end-tidal capnography.
•Hemodynamic parameters, such as systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure (DBP), HR, SpO2 , ECG will be recorded as base line in preoperative room. Then vitals will be recorded  during FOB intubation, immediately after intubation, 5 min, 15 min of intubation inside OT.
•Gag reflex, cough reflex, vocal cord position will be noted during intubation
