Double-Lumen Flotation Catheter for Use
A DOUBLE-LUMEN flotation catheter* is now used regularly in myocardial infarction research units to obtain right heart pressures in acutely ill patients. It has proven a safe and reliable method of obtaining right heart pressures without fluoroscopy. The technique is simple: A 5-French double-lumen catheter with a small inflatable rubber balloon just proximal to the tip is inserted into a perip...
متن کاملCombined use of a double-lumen tube and Fogarty catheter to prevent the endobronchial spread of infection: a case report
Huntington's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. Patients with Huntington's disease show an increased risk of aspiration pneumonia when the pharyngeal muscle is invaded. We report a case of advanced-stage Huntington's disease in which the patient received right middle lobectomy for a lung abscess caused by repeated aspiration. The best lung is...
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متن کاملShould a Double-Lumen Catheter be withdrawn?
Haemodialysis needs a credible and recurrent access to the systemic circulation which can be accomplished by way of central vein catheterization. We report the case of bleeding after withdrawal of the double lumen catheter. A 36-year-old woman who was a known case of end-stage renal disease referred to a dialysis center because of her arteriovenous fistula malfunction. A double-lumen catheter w...
متن کاملCarlens endobronchial catheter versus regular endotracheal tube during thoracic surgery: a comparison of blood gas tensions and pulmonary shunting.
THE CABLENS CATHETER originally was designed to prevent contamination of healthy lungs with secretions during thoracic surgery. Today it is used more often by surgical teams to create a more optimal surgical exposure by excluding the lung in the opened hemithorax from the anaesthetic system. ~ However, it is known that extremely low arterial oxygen tensions can occur with this technique because...
