The topical anesthetic lidocaine was atomized using a high oxygen flow through the working channel of a flexible intubating endoscope to achieve topical airway anesthesia for awake endotracheal intubation. We prefer this modified spray-as-you-go technique for endoscopic intubation to classical bolus application because of higher patient satisfaction and better compliance.

FAQs
Uniform treatment depends on coordinating several operating variables rather than adjusting one setting alone. Spray volume determines how much liquid reaches the target, nozzle pressure influences delivery conditions, droplet characteristics affect deposition, and travel speed changes the application rate across the surface. Controlling these factors together helps researchers reproduce treatment rates and compare responses among experimental samples.
Travel speed helps determine how long the spray reaches each portion of a test surface during an application. If speed changes, the delivered treatment rate may also vary even when the liquid and nozzle settings remain unchanged. Maintaining a controlled speed therefore reduces differences between samples and supports more consistent measurements of plant, soil, or surface responses.
Droplet delivery affects where applied liquid is deposited and how consistently it reaches the intended target. A precision bench sprayer allows researchers to examine deposition under controlled application conditions while limiting unnecessary variation between samples. This is important when studying pesticide efficacy, plant responses, or potential off-target movement, because differences in delivery can influence both treatment effects and environmental exposure observations.
The instrument provides a controlled small-scale setting in which researchers can examine treatment rates, spray deposition, and biological responses before connecting those findings with field-based assessments. Laboratory-scale control reduces variation and material use, making it easier to compare experimental conditions. Field studies then provide broader assessment context, while bench testing helps clarify responses under standardized application conditions.
A basic workflow is to place the plant, soil, or other test surface in the application area, prepare the liquid treatment, and establish the intended spray volume, nozzle pressure, droplet delivery, and travel speed. The sprayer then applies the treatment under those controlled settings. Keeping the same conditions across samples supports reproducible treatment rates and meaningful comparisons.
Researchers can use the system to investigate how agricultural chemical treatments affect plants or soil, how effectively a pesticide reaches its target, and how spray deposition varies under controlled conditions. It can also support studies of potential off-target movement. These applications generate comparable small-scale observations while reducing material use and helping relate laboratory findings to environmental assessments.
