Brief summary

The aim of this study was to compare auscultation, fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) and video double lumen tube (VDLT) double lumen tube (DLT) location confirmation techniques in terms of intraoperative tube location confirmation time, number of tube dislocations, correction time of dislocations, FOB usage rates, lung deflation quality, postoperative sore throat, presence of hoarseness and cost in thoracic surgery patients undergoing one lung ventilation (OLV).

Detailed description

The single-center, prospective and observational study included 93 patients aged 18-84 years, American Society of Anesthesiology (ASA) I-III, who were to undergo one-lung ventilation in the lateral decubitus position by thoracic surgery under elective conditions. Patients were randomized into Group I: Group with confirmed tube location by auscultation, Group II: Group with confirmed tube location by FOB and Group III: The group in which double lumen tube with video was used. Demographic data of the patients, intubation times, tube site confirmation times, number of type dislocation, dislocation correction time, number and duration of FOB use, quality of lung deflation, presence of postoperative sore throat and hoarseness were recorded. The three groups were compared in terms of cost.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
verification of tube locationduring surgeryThe primary endpoint is the identification of a method that allows the quickest confirmation of double-lumen tube location after intubation and possible intraoperative location changes.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
evaluation of complicationsduring surgeryThe secondary endpoint was to determine the superiority of three methods over each other in preventing complications that may occur due to inadequate tube location confirmation.

Other

MeasureTime frameDescription
cost effectivenessduring surgeryThe other endpoint is to determine the superiority of the three methods over each other in terms of reducing costs.
