ABSTRACT
The combined use of a double?lumen tube and a bronchial blocker can be very helpful in two different clinical scenarios: (1) in isolating not only the contralateral lung, but also the lobe/s of the same lung in which the infected lobe must be resected, (2) in preventing/treating hypoxemia because of the presence of a contralateral lobectomy. A cardiothoracic anesthesiologist must expertise this technique to avoid complications during surgery.
