One-lung Ventilation With Double-Lumen Tubes and Bronchial Blockers in Obese Patients Undergoing Lung Resection
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of bronchial blockers and double-lumen tubes in achieving one-lung ventilation in obese patients undergoing lung resections. The primary question it aims to answer is:
• Is intraoperative hypoxia significantly different depending on the device used?
Researchers will compare the use of bronchial blockers and double-lumen tubes to assess differences in efficacy and safety.
Participants will not be required to perform any tasks.
Inclusion: BMI ≥ 30 kg/m2; Diagnostic or clinical suspicion of lung cancer; Lung resection surgery (lobectomy, segmentectomy or wedge resection) by VATS or thoracotomy, requiring one-lung ventilation; Use of bronchial blocker or double-lumen tube for one-lung ventilation.
Exclusion: Patients with evident anatomic alterations, in which double-lumen tubes may be contraindicated; Emergency surgeries.
