RESUMO
Objective To investigate the difference between single lumen endotracheal intubation of thoracoscope and traditional double lumen endotracheal intubation of thoracoscope in process of thymectomy. Methods From January 2010 to June 2014, clinical data of 30 cases with thymectomy under single lumen endotracheal intubation of thoracoscope (group A) and 30 cases with thymectomy under traditional double lumen endotracheal intubation thora-coscope (group B) were analyzed. Results There were no death patients in both groups. Group A:endotracheal intu-bation time (2.67 ± 0.72) min, surgery time (48.37 ± 4.64) min, the bleeding (26.17 ± 9.62) ml; Group B:endotracheal intubation time (5.55 ± 0.71) min, surgery time (52.10 ± 5.68) min, the bleeding (33.00 ± 7.94) ml. Conclusion Compared with traditional double lumen endotracheal intubation under thoracoscope, the single lumen endotracheal intubation of thoracoscope showed that intubation time was significantly shorter, and reduced the oc-currence of postoperative complications, the operative field was exposed more completely, reduced operation time and blood loss.
