| Article Title: | Lung isolation: Tube design and technical approaches |
| Abstract: | Airway management for thoracic surgery frequently requires isolation of a portion of the respiratory system. In some circumstances lung isolation is mandatory and in others elective. Several techniques utilizing specialized endotracheal tubes and blockers are currently available. There are specific advantages and complications associated with each that, in part, determine optimal outcome in this specialized group of surgical patients. |
