Double lumen tube: Size and insertion depth [PDF]
Saudi Journal of Anaesthesia, 2021 Double lumen tubes (DLTs) are most commonly used to achieve one lung ventilation (OLV) in most thoracic surgical procedures unless contraindicated. Left-sided DLT (LDLT) is most commonly used nowadays for most thoracic surgical procedures.

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2022 Double lumen tubes (DLTs) remain the gold-standard lung isolation devices to prevent soilage (abscess, blood) of the normal lung or control ventilation in certain thoracic surgeries (bronchopleural fistula, lung-resection, oesophagectomy, etc.).[1 ...

Hypoxemia in thoracoscopic lung resection surgery using a video double-lumen tube versus a conventional double-lumen tube: A propensity score-matched analysis [PDF]
Frontiers in Surgery, 2023 BackgroundMalposition of the double-lumen tubes (DLTs) may lead to hypoxemia during one-lung ventilation (OLV). Video double-lumen tubes (VDLTs) enable continuous observation of DLT position and avoid displacement.

Common double-lumen tube selection methods overestimate adequate tube sizes in individual patients – a 3D reconstruction study [PDF]
BMC AnesthesiologyBackground Appropriate selection of double-lumen tube sizes for one-lung ventilation is crucial to prevent airway damage. Current selection methods rely on demographic factors or 2D radiography.

Choosing the correct-sized adult double-lumen tube: Quest for the holy grail. [PDF]
Ann Card Anaesth, 2023 Appropriate size selection of double-lumen tubes (DLTs) for one-lung ventilation (OLV) in adults is still a humongous task. Several important factors are to be considered like patient height, gender, tracheal diameter, left main bronchial diameter, and ...

A randomized comparison between the VivaSight double-lumen tube and standard double-lumen tube intubation in thoracic surgery patients. [PDF]
J Thorac Dis, 2022 Background Thoracic surgery often demands separation of ventilation between the lungs. It is achieved with double-lumen tubes (DLTs), video double-lumen tubes (VDLTs) or bronchial blockers.
