Video-guided Versus Conventional Right-sided Double-Lumen Tubes for One-Lung Ventilation in Thoracoscopic Surgery
Starting soon · Not applicable
Conditions studied: Thoracoscopic Surgery, Double Lumen Tube Intubation, One-Lung Ventilation
In brief
This multicentre randomised controlled trial compares a video-guided right-sided double-lumen tube with a conventional right-sided double-lumen tube in adults undergoing elective thoracoscopic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation. The video-guided tube has an integrated camera that provides continuous visual feedback during placement and surgery. Participants will be randomly assigned to receive one of the two tubes. The anaesthesiologist cannot be blinded because the devices are different, but participants will not be told which tube they receive. The study will compare successful initial tube placement, tube position, the need for repositioning or fibreoptic bronchoscopy, lung collapse and surgical exposure, airway management time, and airway-related complications. The results may help determine whether continuous visual guidance improves the safety and effectiveness of right-sided double-lumen tube management.

You may qualify if…
- Adults aged 18 years or older.
- American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-III.
- Scheduled for elective thoracoscopic surgery requiring lung isolation with a right-sided double-lumen tube for one-lung ventilation.
- Able to provide written informed consent.
You may not qualify if…
- Contraindication to placement of a right-sided double-lumen tube, including a lesion involving the right main bronchus that precludes its use.
- Known tracheobronchial anatomical abnormality.
- Known or anticipated difficult airway.
- Requirement for rapid-sequence induction.
- Emergency surgery.
- Previous thoracic surgery within 4 weeks before enrolment.
- Active systemic infection or known/suspected pulmonary tuberculosis within 4 weeks before enrolment.
- Severe respiratory instability that, in the investigator's judgement, makes trial participation unsafe.
- Concurrent participation in another interventional clinical trial that could interfere with this study.
