Summary

to assess the efficacy of lung ultrasound versus conventional auscultation method and fiberoptic bronchoscopy in confirmation of double lumen tube position

Detailed description

Confirmation of double lumen tube position by auscultation followed fiberoptic bronchoscopy then lung ultrasound. After double lumen intubation all patient tube position will be confirmed using auscultation then fiberoptic bronchoscopy then lung ultrasound

Conditions

• Diagnostic Accuracy

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
DIAGNOSTIC_TEST	Lung auscultation	auscultation of air entry through chest wal
DEVICE	Fiberoptic bronchoscopy	Checking correct double lumen position through direct vision using fiberoptic bronchoscopy
DEVICE	Lung Ultrasound	real time visualization of air entry to the lungs using trans-thoracic lung ultrasound
