BACKGROUND: The aim of this study is to evaluate the confirmation of double lumen tube placement with thoracic Ultrasound (USG) in thorax surgery operations with one lung ventilation. METHODS: In this prospective and observational study, 130 patients aged between 18-65 years in ASA (American Society of Anesthesiology) I-III risk class who will undergo thoracic surgery with the application of single-lung ventilation were included in the study. A double-lumen endobronchial tube was placed in the patients blindly. One-lung ventilation (OLV) was confirmed by thoracic USG by the anesthesiologist. The patient's demographic data, rapid clinical evaluation and USG data results, and intraoperative surgeon satisfaction were recorded.
