endobronchial intubation in thoracic surgery: which side should be preferred?
Cardiovascular and arousal responses to singlelumen endotracheal and doublelumen
endobronchial intubation in the normotensive and hypertensive elderly.
Available pulmonary isolation techniques include selective
endobronchial intubation (SEI), placement of a bronchial blocker (BB) after endotracheal intubation, and intubation with a double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLT) (Figure 1).
The study showed that the risk of
endobronchial intubation is increased in patients whose airway length is relatively short if we determine the depth of intubation using the conventional method.
Bilateral auscultation of the chest can be done to identify and prevent possible
endobronchial intubation. Although auscultation of the lungs can be used to verify the position of the ETT, it may be deceptive in patients with decreased lung compliance or in patients who experience severe bronchospasm.
Placing the ETT tip distally may increase the risks of carinal injury and
endobronchial intubation. Such risks should be minimal if both two- and one-lung ventilations are uncomplicated.
Therefore, the preformed tubes have a higher chance of
endobronchial intubation and care should be taken to avoid this complication.
