Difficulties with positioning Robertshaw double lumen tubes.

A M Black, G A Harrison

    Anaesthesia and Intensive Care
    |November 1, 1975
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study reviewed Robertshaw tube placement, finding pre-operative chest X-rays unhelpful for predicting issues. New procedures were developed to minimize malpositioning incidents and improve patient safety.

    Area of Science:

    • Anesthesiology
    • Respiratory Medicine
    • Surgical Technology

    Background:

    • Robertshaw tubes are crucial for maintaining ventilation during thoracic surgery.
    • Accurate placement is essential to prevent complications.
    • Previous methods for predicting or preventing malpositioning have limitations.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the incidence and causes of Robertshaw tube malpositioning.
    • To identify factors contributing to placement difficulties.
    • To develop strategies for minimizing malpositioning complications.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of Robertshaw tube placements.
    • Prospective evaluation of tube performance and malpositions.
    • Reconstruction of malplaced tube positions relative to the tracheobronchial tree.

    Main Results:

    • Pre-operative chest X-rays were ineffective in predicting placement difficulties.
    • Detailed recording of malpositions in the prospective series.
    • Precise definition of malposition-related dangers was achieved.

    Conclusions:

    • Malpositioning of Robertshaw tubes presents significant risks.
    • Improved understanding of malpositions allows for procedural refinement.
    • New procedures can minimize the incidence of Robertshaw tube malpositions.
