Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Change of Tracheal distance (from distal opening of tracheal lumen of DLT to tracheal carina) during lateral positioning ;Change of Bronchial distance (from distal opening of bronchial lumen of DLT to bronchial carina) during lateral positioning | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Incidence of repositioning of the DLT due to an inappropriate position, which was defined as herniation of the blue-colored bronchial cuff with poor lung isolation or advancing too deeply into the left main bronchus with obstruction of the left upper lobe orifice, thereby not ensuring a clear view of the left secondary carina via the bronchial lumen. | — |
