The Department of Anesthesiology successfully carried out the first

The Department of Anesthesiology successfully carried out the first "one-lung ventilation technique for thoracic surgery with double lumen endobronchial tube intubation."

Patient named Lifen Wang, female, 60 years old, recently came to our hospital for treatment due to "chest tightness and shortness of breath for more than 10 days". The outpatient was hospitalized with "dyspnea and pleural effusion". In order to further confirm the diagnosis, a "thoracoscopic pleural biopsy" is planned to be performed in general anesthesia situation. On May 19th, the anesthesiology department performed double lumen endobronchial tube intubation under the guidance of fiberoptic bronchoscope after full pre-operative assessment, discussion and relevant preparations. The patient's vital signs were stable during the operation, and the operation was successfully completed. Daily care in the ward showed that the patient had no anesthesia complications. This is the first case of "endobronchial tube intubation technology under the guidance of fiberoptic bronchoscope" independently completed by the Department of Anesthesiology of the hospital.

The advantage of double lumen endotracheal tube intubation is single-lung ventilation, which can effectively prevent the patient's lung contents from entering the healthy lung and bronchi; lung collapse provides a good surgical field of view for thoracic surgery, ensuring the safety of patients during the perioperative period, avoiding and reducing Complications occur.
