Diagnostic Accuracy
Conditions
Brief summary
to assess the efficacy of lung ultrasound versus conventional auscultation method and fiberoptic bronchoscopy in confirmation of double lumen tube position
Detailed description
Confirmation of double lumen tube position by auscultation followed fiberoptic bronchoscopy then lung ultrasound. After double lumen intubation all patient tube position will be confirmed using auscultation then fiberoptic bronchoscopy then lung ultrasound
Interventions
DIAGNOSTIC_TESTLung auscultation
auscultation of air entry through chest wal
DEVICEFiberoptic bronchoscopy
Checking correct double lumen position through direct vision using fiberoptic bronchoscopy
DEVICELung Ultrasound
real time visualization of air entry to the lungs using trans-thoracic lung ultrasound
