About Adult PVC Double Lumen Endobronchial Tube

A double-lumen tube (DLT) is an endotracheal tube designed to isolate the lungs anatomically and physiologically. Double-lumen tubes (DLTs) are the most commonly used tubes to provide independent ventilation for each lung. One-lung ventilation (OLV) or lung isolation is the mechanical and functional separation of the 2 lungs to allow selective ventilation of only one lung. The other lung that is not being ventilated passively deflates or is displaced by the surgeon to facilitate surgical exposure for non-cardiac operations in the chest such as thoracic, esophageal, aortic and spine procedures. This activity reviews the use of the DLT, its indications, contraindications, and complications in thoracic surgery.

Enhanced Airway Management

Achieve effective lung isolation with the double lumen design, allowing for controlled single or dual lung ventilation. The tube ensures reliable performance in thoracic and cardiac surgeries, as well as during urgent airway management scenarios.

Superior Patient Safety Features

This endobronchial tube includes low-pressure double cuffs, a soft rounded tip to minimize airway trauma, and is equipped with graduated markings for accurate positioning. The radio-opaque line ensures clear visibility during imaging procedures, supporting patient safety every step of the way.

Robust Compliance and Quality

Manufactured using high-grade medical PVC and advanced molding technology, the tube meets stringent CE Mark and ISO 13485 standards. Each item is EO sterilized, latex free, and securely packaged to maintain sterility until point of use.

FAQ's of Adult PVC Double Lumen Endobronchial Tube:

Q: How is the Adult PVC Double Lumen Endobronchial Tube used during procedures?

A: The tube is inserted into the trachea to facilitate lung isolation or one-lung ventilation, primarily during thoracic or cardiac surgeries and emergency airway management. Double cuffs (tracheal and bronchial) are inflated to secure each lumen, allowing for targeted ventilation of one lung when needed.

Q: What size options are available and how do I select the appropriate tube size?

A: This endobronchial tube is available in 35 Fr, 37 Fr, 39 Fr, and 41 Fr sizes. Selection depends on the patient's anatomy and clinical indications; generally, larger adults may require larger sizes, while smaller or petite patients benefit from smaller diameters. Refer to clinical guidelines or the anesthesiologist's recommendation for precise selection.

Q: When should this tube be used over a standard single-lumen endotracheal tube?

A: The double lumen tube is specifically indicated when lung isolation is required, such as for thoracic surgery, certain cardiac procedures, or when separate ventilation of each lung is necessary. It is not typically used for routine intubation without the need for lung separation.

Q: Where should the tube be stored prior to use?

A: Store the device in a cool, dry environment away from direct sunlight. This helps preserve the tube's structural integrity and ensures sterility is maintained up to its five-year shelf life.

Q: What are the benefits of the double cuff and soft rounded tip design?

A: The dual cuff system provides effective sealing in both the trachea and bronchus, reducing the risk of cross-contamination between lungs, while the soft rounded tip minimizes mucosal trauma and eases insertion, enhancing patient comfort and safety.

Q: Is the tube compatible with standard anesthesia and lung isolation equipment?

A: Yes, the tube is fitted with a universal color-coded connector, making it compatible with most standard anesthesia equipment and ventilators typically found in operating rooms.

Q: What is the process for disposing of the tube after use?

A: As a single-use, sterile product, the tube should be disposed of according to local biomedical waste protocols immediately after use to prevent cross-infection and maintain compliance with hospital safety standards.
