Role of Lung Ultrasound in Confirmation of Correct Double Lumen Endotracheal Tube Placement in Thoracic Surgeries

National Cancer Institute, Egypt117 enrolled

Overview

to assess the efficacy of lung ultrasound versus conventional auscultation method and fiberoptic bronchoscopy in confirmation of double lumen tube position

Confirmation of double lumen tube position by auscultation followed fiberoptic bronchoscopy then lung ultrasound. After double lumen intubation all patient tube position will be confirmed using auscultation then fiberoptic bronchoscopy then lung ultrasound
