Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare the episode of incidence of hypoxia (Spo-90%), between HFNC and COT during bronchoscopy with bronchoalveolar lavage.Timepoint: Pre procedural (Baseline) Room air Saturation, Heart Rate. During procedure-At bronchoscopy insertion, mid-procedure(every 5 minutes), at maximum point of saturation if any At completion of bronchoscopy. Immediate Post procedure Early recovery - 30 mins after procedure. 1 hour post procedure	—
