Hemodynamic and Humoral Response to Intubation with Double-lumen Endotracheal Tubes Versus Single-lumen Tubes Combined with an Endobronchial Blocker: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Abstract: Introduction: Insertion of endotracheal tubes, especially large and relatively inflexible doublelumen tubes, provokes cardiovascular and humoral responses which can cause complications. Bronchial blockers, combined with conventional single-lumen tubes (SLT), serve as alternatives to double-lumen tubes (DLT) and may provoke less hemodynamic response. Methods: Forty adults scheduled for elective thoracic surgery requiring single-lung ventilation were randomly assigned to DLT or SLT combined with EZ-Blocker (EZ),… Show more

“…DLT placement is technically more challenging and causes greater haemodynamic disturbance and trauma than single-lumen tube placement[ 3 4 ] even in patients with Cormack Lehane grade 1 view. This difficulty is compounded if the airway happens to be even a borderline difficult one (Cormack Lehane grade 2 onwards).…”
