The Pretreatment of a Left-sided Double-lumen Tube to Prevent Its Misplacement to the Right Mainstem Bronchus

May 20, 2015 updated by: Jae-Hyon Bahk, MD, PhD, Seoul National University Hospital
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether flexion of bronchial tip of a left-sided double lumen endobronchial tube prevents tube misplacement to the right mainstem bronchus.

Design Details

  • Primary Purpose: PREVENTION
  • Allocation: RANDOMIZED
  • Interventional Model: PARALLEL
  • Masking: NONE

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Active Comparator: Neutral shape of bronchial tip
Intubation is performed without transforming the shape of the bonchial tipof a double lumen tube.
Experimental: Bent shape of bronchial tip
Intubation is performed with the double lumen tube, which bronchial tip has been bent 45 degrees and maintained for 5 min.
