Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Comparison of airway secretion burden score during fibreoptic bronchoscopy and total fibreoptic procedural time between patients receiving inhalational glycopyrrolate via Rotahaler and those receiving intramuscular glycopyrrolate.Timepoint: baseline (pre-FOB), scope insertion, midpoint of FOB, scope removal/end of FOB, and 5 minutes post-FOB.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
bronchoscopy visibility, suction events, hemodynamics, adverse events, ease of airway device placement, operator confidence, postoperative throat discomfort, postoperative dry mouth, and other anticholinergic/inhalation-related side effects.Timepoint: during FOB for visibility, suction events, hemodynamics, and intra-procedural adverse events; immediately after device placement for ease of placement; during FOB for operator confidence; and 1, 6, and 24 hours after extubation for throat discomfort, dry mouth, and other postoperative side effects
