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.

Does the aerosol box accommodate the double-lumen tube intubation? [PDF]
SAGE Open Medical Case ReportsThe aerosol box was widely used to shield healthcare providers from exposure to COVID-19 during single-lumen intubation procedures. However, it has not previously been evaluated for its use in double-lumen tube intubations.

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.

Video double-lumen tube for one lung ventilation: implementation and experience in 343 cases of routine clinical use during the first 20 months of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic [PDF]
Journal of Cardiothoracic SurgeryBackground Double-lumen tubes (DLTs) are the preferred device for lung isolation. Conventional DLTs (cDLT) need a bronchoscopic position control. Visualisation of correct DLT positioning could be facilitated by the use of a video double-lumen tube (vDLT).

Subglottic Stenosis After Double‐Lumen Tube Intubation With Reintubation: A Case Report and Review of Japanese Cases [PDF]
Clinical Case ReportsSubglottic stenosis after double‐lumen tube (DLT) intubation is more likely to occur when an oversized DLT, specifically a 35 Fr DLT, is used in older, shorter women. Reintubation in such cases is challenging and may cause additional traumatic laryngitis.

Left mainstem bronchial rupture during one-lung ventilation with Robertshaw double lumen endobronchial tube -A case report- [PDF]
Korean Journal of Anesthesiology, 2010 Lung separation using a double-lumen endobronchial tube is necessary for video assisted thoracoscopy (VATs). Bronchial rupture after intubation with a double-lumen endobronchial tube has been rarely reported. We report a case of a 70-year-old man who had
