Lung isolation technique is useful for lung or heart surgeries for better visualization. Double lumen endobronchial tube and bronchial blocker are available for lung isolation. Adding disconnection technique before lung isolation is helpful to accelerate the lung deflation. However, the utility of disconnection technique has never been evaluated in comparison of double lumen tube and bronchial blocker. Therefore, the utility of disconnection technique in two different lung isolation technique, double lumen tube and bronchial blocker will be evaluated

Before lung isolation, the ventilator stays switched-off until the carbon dioxide on the capnogram reached to zero. Then, inflate the balloon either on the double lumen tube or on the bronchial blocker.
Lung deflation score
verbal analog scale(0=no deflation, 10=complete deflation)
Time frame: 10 min after inflation of balloon
time for initial placement
Time frame: from beginning of intubation until confirmation of adequate placement with bronchoscope, approximately 5 minute
time for lung deflation
Time frame: from turning the ventilator off until the carbon dioxide reach to zero on capnography, within 2 min
