Abstract:
A new tracheal tube which incorporates a movable bronchus blocker (the Univent tube), was evaluated in eight patients who underwent thoracic surgery. Difficulties encountered with accurate placement suggest that routine use should be made of a fibreoptic bronchoscope to confirm the position of the blocker.
