The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy and practicality of ultrasound in the selection of double lumen tube and whether the complications that may occur intraoperatively and postoperatively can be reduced. Patients aged 18-75 years with ASA 1-2-3 who give informed consent for left double lumen tube placement for single lung ventilation will be included in this study. Patients with a history of previous difficult intubation, head and neck surgery and radiotherapy, class 3-4 in the Colmark-Lehane classification by the thoracic anaesthetist who will perform the intubation, and patients with previously known hoarseness and chronic cough will not be included in the study. Patients who accept the study will be randomly assigned to one of the anaesthesia groups including ultrasound group (Group 1) and classical method (Group 2). Randomisation will be in a 1:1 ratio and will be done by closed envelope method.
