Airway Management, Endotracheal Intubation, One Lung Ventilation
Conditions
Brief summary
Double lumen tube (DLT) is an enotracheal tube that facilitates one lung ventilation. The DLT exact position in the airways is verified by fiber-optic bronchoscopy (FOB) after intubation. The VivaSight TM DL is a single use left DLT with a camera embedded in the tube's right side port. This study was designed to compare the VivaSightTM DL to the standard DLT.
Detailed description
Double lumen tube (DLT) is an enotracheal tube that facilitates one lung ventilation. The efficiency of the DLT depends on its exact position in the airways, as verified by fiber-optic bronchoscopy (FOB) after intubation, and re-verified after positioning the patient on the lateral position. The VivaSight TM DL is a single use left DLT with a camera embedded in the tube's right side port. The view from the camera appears continuously on a monitor. This study was designed to compare the VivaSightTM DL to the standard DLT. The primary end point is the time required for intubation with visual confirmation of DLT position.
