In plain words

What the trial is, and whether it could suit you

This multicentre randomised controlled trial compares a video-guided right-sided double-lumen tube with a conventional right-sided double-lumen tube in adults undergoing elective thoracoscopic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation. The video-guided tube incorporates an integrated camera that provides continuous airway visualisation during initial placement and intraoperative monitoring. Participants will be randomly assigned in a 1:1 ratio to receive one of the two tubes. Final tube position after initial placement will be confirmed by fibreoptic bronchoscopy in both groups. During one-lung ventilation, additional fibreoptic bronchoscopy will be performed only when clinically indicated or according to predefined rescue criteria. The primary outcome is successful initial right-sided double-lumen tube placement. Secondary outcomes include right upper-lobe bronchial obstruction, intraope

📋 Eligibility rules (as published)
\*\*Inclusion Criteria:\*\* 1. Adults aged 18 years or older. 2. American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status I-III. 3. Scheduled for elective thoracoscopic surgery requiring one-lung ventilation with a right-sided double-lumen tube. 4. Able to provide written informed consent. \*\*Exclusion Criteria:\*\* 1. Contraindication to placement of a right-sided double-lumen tube, including a lesion involving the right main bronchus that precludes its use. 2. Known tracheobronchial anatomical abnormality that may interfere with right-sided double-lumen tube placement or lung isolation. 3. Known or anticipated difficult airway. 4. Requirement for rapid-sequence induction. 5. Emergency surgery. 6. Severe respiratory instability that, in the investigator's judgement, makes participation unsafe. 7. Concurrent participation in another interventional clinical trial that could interfere with the present study.
