BACKGROUND: Peak inspiratory pressures (PIPs) during one-lung ventilation (OLV) have served as a clinical marker that could indirectly verify the proper positioning of double-lumen tubes (DLTs). Patients of short stature are highly susceptible to initial DLT malpositioning. OBJECTIVES: We investigated the usefulness of positioning left-sided DLTs using minimum PIP differences between the right and left lungs by comparing with the previously used method of auscultation without fibreoptic bronchoscopy (FOB)...

BACKGROUND: Obese patients are at risk of complications during airway management including difficult tracheal intubation. There are no reports regarding the ease of intubation or efficiency of lung collapse with the use of lung isolation devices for the morbidly obese patient. We conducted a prospective, randomized study in morbidly obese patients undergoing one-lung ventilation. We compared the effectiveness and ease of placement of a left-sided double-lumen tube and the Arndt(®) blocker...

OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of children-sized fibreoptic bronchoscope in improving the safety of whole-lung lavage (WLL). METHOD: Patients from May 2006 to May 2010 using children-sized fibreoptic bronchoscope to assistant the location were assigned to fibreoptic bronchoscope group. Patients from May 1998 to Nov 2004 using traditional stethoscope to help intubation were assigned to control group. The adverse reactions and complications were compared. RESULT: There were liquid leakage 1 case (0...

BACKGROUND: In several clinical situations, lung separation and single-lung ventilation (SLV) is essential. In these cases, the double-lumen tube (DLT) is the most widely used device. Bronchial blocker such as Univent or Arndt Blocker serves as an alternative. The EZ-Blocker(®) (EZ; AnaesthetIQ B.V., Rotterdam, The Netherlands) is a new device promising to exceed clinical performance of DLT. The aim of this study was to assess the clinical performance of EZ in comparison with conventional left-sided DLT...

BACKGROUND: One-lung ventilation and lung isolation are frequently required in thoracic surgery. In clinical practice, lung isolation is achieved by use of a double-lumen endotracheal tube and a bronchial blocker. A novel bagel shaped bronchial blocker, the Fuggiano's bronchial blocker, has been designed to prevent displacement of the blocker from its position in the bronchus. In this study, we evaluated the clinical performance of the Fuggiano's bronchial blocker for the lung isolation...

The purpose of this study was to estimate the exposure of trainees to airway management techniques in an Australian tertiary adult teaching hospital. Anaesthesia records for all patients over a 20-week period were reviewed and the following data were obtained: the presence of a trainee, the type of airway used, the grade of the laryngoscopic view and the use of non-standard laryngoscopy for intubation. Data was recorded contemporaneously and analysed retrospectively. The data was then extrapolated to give a yearly estimate of airway procedures per trainee...

BACKGROUND: Double-lumen tubes (DLTs) are frequently used to establish one-lung ventilation (OLV). Their correct placement is crucial. We hypothesized that electrical impedance tomography (EIT) reliably displays distribution of ventilation between left and right lung and may thus be used to verify correct DLT placement online. METHODS: Regional ventilation was studied by EIT in 40 patients requiring insertion of left-sided DLTs for OLV during thoracic surgery. EIT was recorded during two-lung ventilation before induction of anaesthesia and after DLT placement, and during OLV in the supine and subsequently in the lateral position...

BACKGROUND: A novel double-lumen endotracheal tube, the Papworth BiVent tube, has been designed to allow the rapid passage of a blocker into either main bronchus, without fibreoptic endoscopic guidance. METHODS: The feasibility of lung isolation and one-lung ventilation (OLV) in human cadavers is examined, along with displacement of the bronchus blocker during head and neck movement. RESULTS: Cadaveric endotracheal intubation with the Papworth BiVent tube was straightforward and comparable with intubation with a conventional single-lumen tube (SLT)...

Provision of one lung ventilation can be technically challenging, particularly for anaesthetists who are only occasionally required to isolate one lung from the other. A new double lumen endotracheal tube, the Papworth BiVent Tube, has been designed to enable rapid and reliable lung isolation using any bronchus blocker without the need for fibreoptic endoscopic guidance. In this study, an airway-training manikin was used to assess ease of tracheal intubation and lung isolation using the Papworth BiVent tube...

OBJECTIVE: A left-sided double lumen tube is recommended for one-lung ventilation for most thoracic surgeries, but for certain indications, a right-sided double lumen tube (R-DLT) may be mandatory. Frequent malposition of R-DLTs has been reported. We propose an innovative modification of Mallinckrodt's Broncho-Cath R-DLT consisting of an enlarged area of the lateral orifice, and studied the impact of this modification on the adequacy of R-DLT positioning. METHODS: Eighty adult patients scheduled for elective thoracic surgery were randomized into two groups: standard Broncho-Cath R-DLT, or modified Broncho-Cath R-DLT...

An endobronchial tube (Macintosh-Leatherdale) was used to secure the airway for a tracheal resection and end-to-end anastomosis. This lung separation device enabled insertion of both a fibreoptic bronchoscope and a tube exchange catheter. These were required after the trachea was transected and re-anastomosis proved surgically difficult. The airway exchange catheter allowed for jet ventilation and later a tube change when an emergency occurred. Options and management issues for tracheal surgery and lung separators are discussed...

High-volume, low-pressure tracheal cuffs of disposable double lumen tubes may offer limited protection to the dependent lung if fluid leaks through folds in the inflated cuffs. This study was undertaken to determine the incidence of fluid leakage past the tracheal cuff and whether gel lubrication reduces the incidence. Fifty-five patients were randomly assigned to receive a double lumen tube with or without gel lubrication. The dependent lung was intubated. With the patient in the lateral position, methylthionium chloride was administered above the tracheal cuff via a pre-attached catheter...

Following surgery requiring the use of a double-lumen endobronchial tube, a patient immediately complained of persistent severe hoarseness. On the third day after the operation, fibreoptic laryngoscopy revealed posterolateral dislocation of the left arytenoid cartilage. By the sixth day of the operation, a slight improvement was observed in the hoarseness without treatment and a spontaneous recovery of arytenoid cartilage dislocation was expected. The patient did not consent to surgical treatment, and therefore a conservative therapy was selected...

PURPOSE: When patients are moved from the supine to the lateral decubitus position, the double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT) is often displaced. The aim of this study was to determine whether a DLT is displaced when there are no movements of the head and neck. METHODS: One hundred patients scheduled for elective thoracic surgery were randomly divided into control and brace groups. Only a left-sided DLT was used during the study. All patients in the brace group wore a neck collar before the positional change...

REVIEW
J Pfitzner, H I Alexander, P K Hung
Due to the presence of major lung or extra-pulmonary pathology, which may be unilateral or bilateral, the initial placement of a double-lumen tube is not always straightforward. Although fibreoptic bronchoscopy is often used to confirm "correct" placement, a "blind" technique is frequently used for the initial insertion. The currently widely taught blind technique involves tracheal cuff inflation and ventilation of both lungs as a first manoeuvre, with a subsequent assessment of single-lung ventilation by clamping off in turn, the two limbs of the double-lumen tube double-connector: An alternative approach involves the bronchial cuff being inflated first, and then using a single-connector to transfer ventilation from one lung to the other...

The right and left main bronchial diameters of 250 children were measured using computed tomography of the thorax. In 75% of the cases, the right main bronchial diameter was significantly larger than the left (95% CI 0.7-0.9, P<0.01). Age but not weight of a child is a good predictor of the bronchial diameter (Beta value is 2.81x10(-2) and 2.58x10(-2) for right and left main bronchial diameter respectively). A size 3 Fogarty catheter will provide effective bronchial blocking for children up to 4 years old...
