The VivaSightâ„¢-DLT is a new OLV (one lung ventilation) device that contains an embedded camera. Therefore, a potential advantage is the continuous assessment of DLT position through continuous monitoring of the camera. The embedded camera of VivaSightâ„¢-DLT is positioned at the tracheal opening of the double lumen tube. It allows for continuous monitoring of the carina and bronchial tube placement. The purpose of this study is to determine if a double lumen tube (DLT) with an embedded video camera, the VivaSight DLT, can be used in similar fashion to the standard double lumen tube with fiberoptic bronchoscopy. More specifically, the investigators would like to know the difference in time to optimal position in the left bronchus between the VivaSight DLT and the standard DLT with fiberoptic bronchoscopy. In addition, the investigators would like to know if the embedded camera on the VivaSight DLT provides a view that will allow for the optimum position of the DLT in the left bronchus.
