A new tube for single lung ventilation.
نویسنده
چکیده
A recently developed endotracheal tube with a movable bronchial blocker (Univent tube) was used for single lung ventilation. A total of 50 intubations were undertaken for a wide variety of thoracic procedures. Each case was analyzed with respect to ease or difficulty of intubation, tube dislodgment, efficacy of lung collapse, and adequacy of single lung ventilation. Successful, safe selective intubation was accomplished in all cases.

RESPIRATION AND THE AIRWAY Randomized clinical trial comparing double-lumen tube and EZ-Blocker for single-lung ventilation
Editor’s key points † A new EZ bronchial blocker was compared with double-lumen tube (DLT) for providing single-lung ventilation (SLV). † Forty patients undergoing thoracic surgery were randomized to one of the two groups. † EZ-Blocker (EZ) provided comparable quality of lung collapse to DLT, but took longer for its placement. † EZ will be an efficient alternative for SLV where DLT cannot be us...
متن کاملEffect of Lung Manual Hyperinflation (MHI) on Oxygenation of Patients Following Abdominal Surgery and T-Tube Support
Background: Postoperative pulmonary complications (PPC) are of the major reasons for death. Prolonged mechanical ventilation (PMV) and delayed extubation are leading to the incidence of more seriously complications. The effect of hyperinflation has not been investigated in control of these complications in patients who have been weaned from mechanical ventilation and are undergoing T-tube suppo...
متن کاملDifficult airway and one lung ventilation.
The number of indications for lung collapse during different procedures is rising. Difficult upper airway is more often encountered with the need for single lung ventilation. In patients with difficult airway, the safest approach is by placing a single-lumen endotracheal tube with the aid of a flexible fiberoptic bronchoscope. Lung isolation in these patients is then achieved by means of a bron...
متن کاملManagement of traumatic pneumothorax with massive air leakage: role of a bronchial blocker: a case report
Massive air leakage through a lacerated lung produces inadequate ventilation and hypoxemia. Tube exchange from a single to double lumen endotracheal tube (DLT), and lung separation to maintain oxygenation, are challenging for seriously injured patients. In this case report, we aim to describe how a bronchial blocker (BB) makes it easier to perform a lung separation in this situation; it also in...
