Sequential bilateral lung isolation with a single bronchial blocker. A & A case reports Brodsky, J. B., Tzabazis, A., Basarb-Tung, J., Shrager, J. B. 2013; 1 (1): 17-18

Abstract

Sequential bilateral lung separation and selective lung collapse can be accomplished with either a double-lumen tube, a single bronchial blocker (BB) that must be repositioned during the operation, or by using 2 BBs, 1 placed in each main bronchus. We provided sequential bilateral lung collapse using a single BB without the need to reposition during surgery.
