Changes in the Bronchial Cuff Pressure of Left-Sided Double-Lumen Endotracheal Tube by Lateral Positioning: A Prospective Observational Study

Proper bronchial cuff pressure (BCP) is important when using a double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLT), especially in thoracic surgery. As positional change during endotracheal tube placement could alter cuff pressure, we aim to evaluate the change in BCP of DLT from the supine to the lateral decubitus...
