Endobronchial tube with Camera –  Double-lumen Endobronchial tube with an integrated camera

A double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT) may be used in procedures requiring one-lung ventilation. correct placement of the DLT may be challenging and unrecognized malposition is not uncommon. Visual confirmation of correct position with a fibreoptic bronchoscope is generally regarded as the gold standard, as auscultation alone may be unreliable. Recently, video assisted DLT with an integrated high-resolution camera embedded at the distal end of the tracheal lumen, has become available.

This is a sterile, single-use double lumen endobronchial tube with an integrated camera used to isolate the left or right lung of a patient in One Lung Ventilation (OLV) procedures.

The integrated camera and continuous visualization Provides several benefits:

Provides continuous visualization of endobronchial blocker position.
Ideal for monitoring of correct tube placement.
Significantly reduces the need to use a bronchoscope.

• Increases patient safety

Continuous visualization enables you to follow tube placement and patient airway in real time throughout the entire OLV procedure. This allows you to immediately detect and correct mispositioning and dislocation of the DLT.

• Follow tube placement in real time – Improves procedure workflow
• Continuous visualization of the tube and patient airway can positively affect patient management and procedure workflow because it:

Enables faster intubation time than with conventional DLTs
Facilitates correct tube placement
Significantly reduces the need to use a bronchoscope
Facilitates immediate detection and correction of tube dislodgement
