About this trial

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the efficacy of bronchial blockers and double-lumen tubes in achieving one-lung ventilation in obese patients undergoing lung resections. The primary question it aims to answer is:

• Is intraoperative hypoxia significantly different depending on the device used?

Researchers will compare the use of bronchial blockers and double-lumen tubes to assess differences in efficacy and safety.

Participants will not be required to perform any tasks.

Eligibility criteria

Disqualifiers

Patients with evident anatomic alterations, in which double-lumen tubes may be contraindicated.

Emergency surgeries.
