U.S., March 13 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07465510) titled 'Ultrasound vs. Auscultation and Fiberoptic Bronchoscopy for Double-Lumen Tube Placement' on March 06.
Brief Summary: One-lung ventilation is frequently required in thoracic surgery and is most commonly achieved using double-lumen endobronchial tubes (DLTs). Correct positioning of the DLT is crucial for effective lung isolation and patient safety. Fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB) is considered the gold standard for confirming DLT placement; however, it may not always be immediately available and requires specific expertise.
Lung ultrasonography is a rapid, noninvasive, and bedside imaging method increasingly used in anesthesiology and...
