Modified and newly designed right-sided double-lumen endobronchial tubes are complementary.
To the Editor:—We read with great interest the case report on the application of a newly designed right-sided, double-lumen endobronchial tube (R-DLT) in patients with a very short right mainstem bronchus. However, in citing our work on the improvement of the endobronchial positioning of the R-DLT, Hagihira et al. stated that we modified the design of the bronchial cuff and that these changes s...
متن کاملComparison of the resistances of double-lumen endobronchial tubes.
The resistance of commonly-used double-lumen endobronchial tubes were measured and a detailed comparison made. Robertshaw tubes were generally found to have a lower resistance than either the Carlens or the White tubes of equivalent size, but this was not so in every case. The White tubes had a disproportionately high resistance associated with the upper lobe orifice when compared with the resi...
متن کاملThe clinical use of right-sided double-lumen tubes.
Right-sided double-lumen tubes (DLTs) have a bad reputation. Many experts in the field of thoracic anesthesia regard them as being difficult to position, having a small margin of safety for correct placement, and being prone to intraoperative malpositioning. However, in a randomized prospective study, Campos et al. compared the use of right vs left DLTs in two groups of 20 patients having left ...
متن کاملA simple blind placement of the left-sided double-lumen tubes: Erratum
One-lung ventilation (OLV) has been commonly provided by using a double-lumen tube (DLT). Previous reports have indicated the high incidence of inappropriate DLT positioning in conventional maneuvers.After obtaining approval from the medical ethics committee of First Affiliated Hospital of Anhui Medical University and written consent from patients, 88 adult patients belonging to American societ...
متن کاملIntubation with VivaSight or conventional left-sided double-lumen tubes: a randomized trial.
INTRODUCTION Double-lumen endotracheal tubes (DLTs), which are commonly used for single-lung ventilation during surgery, are difficult to insert. In addition, they often move during surgical lung manipulation which can cause life-threatening complications. Flexible bronchoscopy is used routinely to establish and confirm proper DLT placement. The newly designed VivaSight DLT has an integrated ca...
