Video Double-Lumen Tube Prospective Randomized Study

United States83 participantsStarted 2015-09

Plain-language summary

The goal of this clinical research study is to learn how often a fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB -- also known as a fiberoptic scope procedure) needs to be used with a video double lumen tube (VDLT) during surgeries that require lung isolation. On this study, you will have one of 2 types of commonly-used breathing tubes used, either a VDLT or a non-video double lumen tube (called a non-video DLT). An FOB may or may not be performed, as described below. The level of effectiveness of the VDLT and non-video DLT will be compared.
