"Detachment of the carinal hook following endobronchial intubation with a double lumen tube"
BACKGROUND Carinal hooks increases difficulty at endotracheal intubation. Amputation of the carinal hook during passage and malpositioning of the tube to the hook are some of the potential problems related with left-sided Carlens double lumen tube (DLT). This article reports an amputation of the hook during a difficult selective intubation and aimed at calling the attention to complications ass...
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 کاملDouble 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 ...

متن کاملIn reply. Safe and effective positioning of a left-sided double-lumen tube.
To the Editor, As discussed in our paper, positioning the VivaSight DLT 34 sec faster than positioning a conventional doublelumen tube is of marginal clinical importance. Then again, faster insertion is consistent with the fact that the tube is easy to use. Furthermore, the ability to obtain immediate assurance of at least an approximately correct position with the VivaSight camera likely facil...
