Abstract:Abstract: Objective To observe the safety and effectiveness of visual double lumen tube in thoracic surgery. Methods 40 patients scheduled for thoracic operation with double lumen tube at ASA to I grade III were selected and randomly divided into A group (visual double lumen tube group, n = 50 group), B group (ordinary double lumen tube group, n = 50). After the induction of intravenous anesthesia, the double lumen tube was implanted, and the A group was guided by the intraductal camera, and the B group was guided by the fiberoptic bronchoscope. The positioning is completed, observe and record the average intubation time, intubation after the one-time success rate, pulmonary collapse during the operation; the number of sore throat and hoarseness. Results The average intubation time of the A groups was significantly less than that in the B group, and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant (P = 0.000). The postoperative sore throat, hoarseness in the two groups was no significant difference (P > 0.05). Conclusion The visual double lumen tube can meet the requirement of single lung ventilation in thoracic anesthesia. The video head of the double lumen tube can replace the effect of the fiberoptic bronchoscope. Continuous monitoring the protuberance can guide the anesthesiologist to adjust the position of the double chamber tube at any time.
