DOI: 10.1007/s00464-018-06614-9
Abstract: IntroductionDouble lumen tube (DLT) intubation is used for lung isolation but is not without disadvantages including increased intubation time, anesthesia expertise, risk of airway trauma, and costs over single lumen tube (SLT) intubation. SLT intubation… read more here.

Abstract: Double lumen tubes (DLTs) remain the gold-standard lung isolation devices to prevent soilage (abscess, blood) of the normal lung or control ventilation in certain thoracic surgeries (bronchopleural fistula, lung-resection, oesophagectomy, etc.).[1] Optimal DLT placement is… read more here.

DOI: 10.4103/sja.sja_115_19
Abstract: Minimally invasive thoracic surgical techniques require effective lung separation using one-lung ventilation (OLV). Verification of lung isolation may be confirmed by auscultation, visual confirmation using fiberoptic bronchoscopy, or more recently, point-of-care ultrasound (POCUS). We describe… read more here.

DOI: 10.5812/aapm.123370
Abstract: Glottic closure insufficiency increases the risk of aspiration and pneumonia, particularly in the elderly. Medialization thyroplasty is an open surgical procedure for treating glottic incompetency by approximating both vocal folds. The vocal fold medialization is… read more here.
