Video-guided Versus Conventional Right-sided Double-lumen Tube Placement for Thoracoscopic Surgery

Краткое описание

Right-sided double-lumen tubes are used for lung isolation during thoracoscopic surgery but can be difficult to position because of right bronchial anatomy. This multicenter randomized controlled trial will compare a continuous video-guided right-sided double-lumen tube with a conventional right-sided double-lumen tube in adult patients undergoing thoracoscopic surgery requiring right-sided lung isolation. The primary objective is to determine whether continuous video guidance increases the rate of successful initial right-sided double-lumen tube positioning. Secondary outcomes include positioning time, clinically relevant intraoperative tube displacement, rescue fiberoptic bronchoscopy, lung collapse quality, hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation, and airway-related complications.
