No results posted yet for this study

Summary

One-lung ventilation can be provided by an endobronchial blocker. The Uniblocker® (Fuji Systems Corporation, Tokyo, Japan) was relatively recently introduced into clinical practice. We will try to devise a blind method to locate the Uniblocker® without the aid of fiberoptic bronchoscopy.

Conditions

  • One Lung Ventilation
  • Endobronchial Blocker
  • Thoracic Surgery
  • Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy

Interventions

PROCEDURE

endobronchial blocker

After intubation of endotracheal tube, the Uniblocker® was inserted into the endotracheal tube and advanced step by step with inflation of the blocker balloon until the peak inspiratory pressure dropped abruptly.
