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.

Comparing the rate of fiberoptic bronchoscopy use with a video double lumen tube versus a conventional double lumen tube-a randomized controlled trial. [PDF]
J Thorac Dis, 2020 Background Double lumen endotracheal tubes (DLT) are commonly used to provide single lung ventilation during thoracic surgery. A fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) is typically used to confirm accurate DLT placement.

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).

Double lumen endobronchial tube intubation: lessons learned from anatomy
BMC AnesthesiologyBackground Double lumen endobronchial tubes (DLTs) are frequently used to employ single lung ventilation strategies during thoracic surgical procedures. Placement of these tubes can be challenging even for experienced clinicians.

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
