Abstract
Techniques for lung isolation in small children are limited to mainstem intubation and the use of bronchial blockers.1 Although the Marraro tube is a customized double-lumen tube for infants,2 the smallest commercially available double-lumen tube is 26 French (Rüsch Bronchopart®, Teleflex Medical, Athlone, Ireland). Reviews of pediatric lung isolation techniques recommend the 26-French double-lumen tube (26F DLT) for patients 8 to 10 years and older.3 However, there is only occasional mention of the actual use of the 26F DLT in the literature.
