Clinical Trial: Learning Curve Analysis of Double-Lumen Tube Placement in Anesthesiology Residents: The Impact of Prior Experience and Laryngoscope Type

U.S., May 7 -- ClinicalTrials.gov registry received information related to the study (NCT07569107) titled 'Learning Curve Analysis of Double-Lumen Tube Placement in Anesthesiology Residents: The Impact of Prior Experience and Laryngoscope Type' on April 29.

Brief Summary: Placement of a double-lumen tube (DLT) is one of the fundamental techniques for safely achieving one-lung ventilation in thoracic anesthesia. Compared with standard single-lumen endotracheal tubes, DLTs have a larger diameter, greater length, and a more rigid structure. These characteristics make intubation with a DLT considerably more challenging in both normal and difficult airways, potentially increasing the risk of upper airway trauma and postoperative complications, ...
