Patients, Undergoing, Elective, Thoracic, Surgery
Brief summary
The double tube ETView is particularly innovative as it includes an integrated optical fiber to visualize the carena. This study aims to verify if if its use avoids the requirement of a fibreoptic bronchoscopy.
Interventions
Tracheal intubation is performed using a ETView Double-Lumen Tube

Eligibility
Inclusion criteria

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Rate of insertion | 300 seconds | Rate of insertion, defined as successful placement of airway device in correct position without help of fibreoptic bronchoscopy |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Ease of use evaluated by the anesthesiologist | 3 hours | Evaluation using a score (1 = easy to use, 2 = not so easy, 3 = difficult) |
| Quality of lung collapse | 3 hours | Evaluation using a score (1 = atelectatic lung, 2 = lung well isolated but not atelectatic, 3 = failure of lung isolation) |
| Rate of misplacement occurring after patients removal from dorsal to lateral position | 1 hour | — |
| Rate of misplacement, occurring during surgery | 3 hours | — |
| Rate of requirement to a conventional double lumen tube | 3 hours | ETView Double-Lumen Tube is not well positioned. It is withdrawn and replaced by a conventional double lumen tube |
