A Patient With Tracheostomy One-Lung Ventilation With Double-Lumen Tube

Double-lumen endotracheal tube for one-lung ventilation through a fresh tracheostomy stoma: a case report.

For one-lung ventilation in many surgical cases, double-lumen endotracheal tubes are the first-line choice for airway management. For most cases, double-lumen endotracheal tubes are faster, easier to place, cheaper, and less prone to malposition than today's bronchial blocker devices. This report describes an elective tracheostomy and the use of a double-lumen endotracheal tube directly through...

Double lumen tube location predicts tube malposition and hypoxaemia during one lung ventilation.

BACKGROUND Poor positioning of an endobronchial double lumen tube (DLT) could affect oxygenation during one lung ventilation (OLV). We set out to relate DLT position to hypoxaemia and DLT misplacement during OLV. METHODS We recruited 152 ASA physical status I-II patients about to have elective thoracic surgery. The trachea was intubated with a left-sided DLT. Tube position was assessed by fib...

Double Lumen Endotracheal Tube for Percutaneous Tracheostomy

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous dilational tracheostomy is normally a bronchoscope-guided procedure. The insertion of a bronchoscope into an endotracheal tube (ETT) affects resistance, flow, and alveolar pressure. To improve airway management and ventilation during percutaneous tracheostomy, we developed a double lumen endotracheal tube (DLET). The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the linear ...
