Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The goal of this clinical trial is to compare the first-attempt success rate in double-lumen tube intubation. The main question it aims to answer:

Is there any difference in the first-attempt success rate of intubation between using flexible bronchoscopy and a video laryngoscope? Researchers will compare the group using a flexible bronchoscope and video laryngoscope with the group using a video laryngoscope only to see if there is a difference in first-attempt success rate.

Participants will be intubated in one of two interventions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

For double-lumen tube insertion, a video laryngoscope can usually be used. However, because the camera is located at the tip, there can be a difference between the line of sight and the actual glottic view, which may make double-lumen tube steering difficult.

Flexible bronchoscopy can guide the double-tube along the natural curvature of the airway with less trauma. In the present research, we hypothesized that the first-pass success rate may differ between a group using video laryngoscopy only and a group using video laryngoscopy and flexible bronchoscopy.
