A Comparison of Intraluminal and Extraluminal Placement of the Arndt Bronchial Blockers for Adult Thoracic Surgery
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Intraluminal Placement and Extraluminal Placement for Operative, Non Cardiac, Thoracic Disease. Completed, enrolled 42 participants.
Detailed Summary
The objective of this study is to evaluate the time and ease of placement of an extra-luminal Arndt bronchial blocker versus placing it intra-luminally. An additional objective will be to assess if there are any other significant clinical differences between these two approaches to placement of the BB including overall quality of isolation, an increase in post-operatives sore throat, post-operative hoarseness, and increased incidence of needing to reposition the blocker
