If the DLT is not placed in the proper size and depth, it may result in repeated intubation attempts, airway and dental trauma, failed lung isolation, tube dislodgement, and various unwanted events such as hypoxemia. The first and most common method for correct placement of a DLT is the conventional technique, blindly advanced into the left main bronchus, and then confirmed with fiberoptic bronchoscopy (FOB). In this method, the depth at which the tube should be left before performing FOB is left to the clinician's experience. Generally, the DLT is advanced in the trachea until a slight resistance is felt. This may lead to excessive advancement of the DLT into the left main bronchus or premature resistance due to th
