Brief summary

The study contains the result from a comparison of diagnostic outcomes about lung collapse by using lung ultrasonography as a new diagnostic test compares to fiberoptic bronchoscopy as the standard test.

Detailed description

The study contains the result from a comparison of diagnostic outcomes about lung collapse by using lung ultrasonography as a new diagnostic test compares to fiberoptic bronchoscopy as a standard test. Both of them detect lung collapse reported as surgical grading lung collapse by the thoracic surgeons. The protocol was performed in a randomized controlled trial whether the subject was allocated to the ultrasonography group or the fiberoptic bronchoscopy group.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTLung ultrasonography by experienced anaesthesiologist

Use ultrasound image of lung at upper and lower lobe to detect lung collapse and compare grading of lung collapse by surgeon as gold standard

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTFiberoptic bronchoscopy for double lumen tube's position

Use fiberoptic bronchoscope via double lumen tube to detect optimum position of double lumen tube and record grading of lung collapse by surgeon as gold standard

Ultrasonography
Patients in this group receive lung ultrasonography to detect lung collapse after insert double lumen tube and finally compare lung collapse by the surgeon's visual grading scale of lung collapse when entering pleural cavity. Lung ultrasonography by experienced anaesthesiologist: Use ultrasound image of lung at upper and lower lobe to detect lung collapse and compare grading of lung collapse by surgeon as gold standard

Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy
Patients in this group receive fiberoptic bronchoscope to detect lung collapse after inserting a double lumen tube and finally compare lung collapse by the surgeon's visual grading scale of lung collapse when entering the pleural cavity.
