Bronchial Blockers vs Double-Lumen Tubes in Obese Patients

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: One-lung Ventilation

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of bronchial blockers and double-lumen tubes in achieving one-lung ventilation in obese patients undergoing lung resections. The primary question it aims to answer is: • Is intraoperative hypoxia significantly different depending on the device used? Researchers will compare the use of bronchial blockers and double-lumen tubes to assess differences in efficacy and safety. Participants will not be required to perform any tasks.
