Bilateral para-tracheal lignocaine infiltration in open surgical tracheostomy.

Discussion and conclusion:Lignocaine infiltration in para-tracheal space just before tracheotomy lead to absent cough reflex with no exacerbation in respiratory distress. We strongly advocate use of lignocaine in para-tracheal space just before tracheotomy in open surgical tracheostomy.
