Summary

The purpose of this study is to comparing the effects of different double-lumen endotracheal tube's bending type in tracheal intubation.

Detailed description

Intubation with the double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLT) remains a great challenge for anesthesiologists. Although new upper airway devices, such as GlideScope(R) videolaryngoscope, 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 different bending type of DLT in tracheal intubation.

Conditions

• Anesthesia Intubation Complications

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	the DLT bending to the right	bending the bronchial lumen of DLT 60\~90 degrees in the same side with the tracheal lumen
PROCEDURE	the DLT bending to the left	bending the bronchial lumen of DLT 60\~90 degree opposed to the tracheal lumen
