Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
to assess success rate in correct placement of EZ blocker and double lumen tube, with blind insertion technique by comparing number of attempts, time taken and fibre optic bronchoscopyTimepoint: Time points for correct placement post blind insertion a check bronchoscopy will be done at - 1. Post insertion of the EZ blocker. 2- Post patient positioning. Hemodynamics will be monitored -timepoints- . T0 baseline, T1- post induction, T2- during laryngoscopy and intubation, T3 at 15 min post intubation

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
to compare changes in heart rate, blood pressure and episodes of desaturationTimepoint: baseline, during insertion and 15 min post insertion of device
