Abstract

The junction between double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLT) and anaesthetic circuit is of crucial importance to modern anaesthesiological management in thoracic surgery. We present a connector which allows for all the essential procedures, such as clinical control of DLT position, use of fiberoptic bronchoscope (FOB) to control or correct DLT position, application of differential lung ventilation patterns or simple suction manoeuvres by easy handling, minimal interference, and avoidance of disconnection or clamping.
