Overview
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.
Eligibility
Inclusion Criteria:
- 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 Criteria:
- Patients with evident anatomic alterations, in which double-lumen tubes may be contraindicated.
- Emergency surgeries.
