Summary

The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of Trachway(R) compared with direct laryngoscope in tracheal intubation of double-lumen endobronchial tube.

Detailed description

Intubation with the double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT) remains a great challenge for anesthesiologists. Although new upper airway devices, such as Trachway (R), a video-assisted intubating stylet, had been developed for facilitating airway management. The larger size and the complexity of DLT than single-lumen tube (SLT) makes the difficulties for DLT intubation. Therefore, the investigators designed this study to investigate the effects of Trachway(R)compared with direct laryngoscope in DLT intubation.
