C-MAC Video Stylet secures the airway. It is a completely new type of video endoscope, it combines the advantages of both rigid and flexible intubation endoscopes. Video allows everyone involved in the intubation to visualize the anatomy simultaneously which facilitates communication and teamwork.
The aim of this study is to make a health economic evaluation comparing novice physicians use of VivaSight double-lumen tube and a conventional double-lumen tube for single-lung ventilation during thoracic surgery at a teaching hospital. The hypothesis is, that both double-lumen tubes are equally cost-effective and the the incidence of fiberoptic bronchoscope use it the same for both tubes.
This prospective, randomized, comparative study is intended to enroll a total of 50 patients undergoing thoracic surgery that necessitates single lung ventilation. The efficacy and performance of the VivaSight DLT will be compared to the conventional double lumen tube. Use of fiberoptic bronchoscopy for initial tube positioning and subsequently during the case will be recorded. The attending thoracic surgeon will judge the quality of lung deflation. The occurrence of any malposition and subsequent maneuvers will be recorded. A standardized anesthetic protocol that is usual and customary for the type of operation the patient is having will be provided to the anesthesia teams of enrolled subjects. The remainder of the anesthetic care of the subject will not deviate from the standard of care.
The results of this study will help to define the capability and reliability of PulmoVista 500 to detect changes in both global and regional ventilation.
