Endobronchial Intubation of Double-lumen Tube: Conventional Method vs Fiberoptic Bronchoscope Guide Method

"During the anesthetic induction for thoracic surgery, Lt. DLT is intubated using the bronchoscope-guided method. The method is as follows.~1. Lt. DLT is intubated through vocal cord using the direct laryngoscopy.~2. Pass the fiberoptic bronschoscope through a bronchial lumen of Lt. DLT.~3. Secure the pathway into the Lt. main bronchus by advancing the bronchoscope into the Lt. main bronchus.~4. Lt. DLT can be advanced through the guide of the bronchoscope into Lt. main bronchus.~5. After the advancement, the position of Lt. DLT can be confirmed using the fiberoptic bronchoscope. If necessary, the depth and direction of Lt. DLT should be modified."

"During the anesthetic induction for thoracic surgery, Lt. DLT is intubated using the conventional method. The method is as follows.~1. Lt. DLT is intubated through vocal cord using the direct laryngoscopy.~2. Rotate Lt. DLT 90 degrees to the left side.~3. Advance Lt. DLT blindly to main bronchus level.~4. After the advancement, the position of Lt. DLT can be confirmed using the fiberoptic bronchoscope. If necessary, the depth and direction of Lt. DLT should be modified."
