What is The Cricothyroid versus Spray-As-You-Go Method for Topical Anesthesia during Flexible Bronchoscopy: The CRISP Randomized Clinical Trial about?
**__Background:__** Comparative characteristics of the cricothyroid injection and spray-as-you-go methods for lidocaine administration during diagnostic flexible bronchoscopy are not clear. **__Objectives:__** Co-primary outcomes were comparison of cough count from bronchoscope introduction until reaching carina and operator-rated overall procedure satisfaction on a Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) between groups. Secondary outcomes were cumulative lidocaine dose, procedure duration, assistant-rated cough, willingness to return for repeat procedure, and procedural complications between groups. **__Methods:__** Consecutive subjects were randomized (1:1) to either the cricothyroid or the spray-as-you-go method for topical anesthesia to the vocal cords and trachea. All received nasal 2% lidocaine gel and pharyngeal 10% lidocaine spray. **__Results:__** A total of 500 subjects were randomized, and 495 subjects were analyzed (248 cricothyroid and 247 spray-as-you-go). Cough count until reaching carina (median [range]) was significantly lower (cricothyroid, 1 [0–10], and spray-as-you-go, 4 [0–30], __p__ < 0.0001) and operator-rated overall procedure satisfaction, VAS (mean ± standard deviatio
