Participant Flow

Between May 14th 2010 and January 17th 2011, 50 patients were enrolled in the study at the end of their pre-operative visit to the thoracic surgery department.

No enrolled participant were excluded from the study. All participants were included into the same group.

GlideScope DLT Intubation With GlideRite DLT Stylet
The double lumen tube (DLT) is the technique of choice to obtain lung isolation. The GlideScope® (GLS, video laryngoscope allowing vizualisation of the airway and tube placement, has been used with a high level of success to assist positioning a single lumen tube (SLT) in normal situations and mainly in situations where the airway is considered or proven to be difficult.We have designed a new semi-rigid intubating stylet, the GlideRite DLT Stylet® (GR-DLT-S), which can be used for primary DLT intubation with the GLS. This pilot study was planned to observe the efficiency and the safety of the GR-DLT-S for primary insertion of DLT with the GLS in patients presenting a normal superior airway. After obtaining local IRB approval, 50 patients scheduled for thoracic surgery (non cardiac) via either thoracoscopy or thoracostomy at l'Institut de cardiologie et de pneumologie de Québec, were enrolled in this observational study.

49 Participants

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: 1 hour (Post intubation)

The timer was started when the GLS blade was inserted between the lips and stopped when the proximal part of the tracheal cuff was passed through the vocal cords. When a patient had teeth at the superior jaw, the DLT was first inserted into the mouth prior to the insertion of the GLS blade in order to avoid rupturing the tracheal cuff. For these cases, the timer was started when the DLT was inserted between the lips.
