The tube has a cuff near the distal tip, which can be inflated using either of the two small side tubes.
Its two hollow channels have a wide diameter, to reduce air-flow resistance. He introduced his double-lumen endobronchial tube in 1962. Robertshaw, M.D., FFARCS (1918-1991), was one of the team that tested the first modern non-explosive anesthetic, halothane. These tubes are primarily used during lung surgery, in order to isolate one lung.īritish anesthesiologist, researcher and inventor Frank L. Some of the tubes used by anesthesiologists are double-lumen tubes designed specifically to enter the right or the left bronchus. The bronchi are of unequal diameter and length. Located below the larynx (voice box), the trachea (windpipe) divides into the right and left bronchi, conducting air in and out of the lungs. Anesthesiologists may insert a breathing tube into the patient's airway to deliver inhalation anesthesia.
