Audit of double-lumen endobronchial intubation

Many technical variations are possible in the placing and management of a double-lumen tube (DLT). We surveyed our practice to relate these variations to the course of the anaesthetic. We used a questionnaire to obtain details of technique in 506 consecutive double lumen intubations. The details wer...

Zusammenfassung:	Many technical variations are possible in the placing and management of a double-lumen tube (DLT). We surveyed our practice to relate these variations to the course of the anaesthetic. We used a questionnaire to obtain details of technique in 506 consecutive double lumen intubations. The details were related to the incidence of secretions, tube displacement, and decreases of oxygen saturation (
