Detailed Description:
The purpose of this study is to compare three different standard of care methods of double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT) placement in patients who are scheduled to have thoracic surgery in which lung isolation is required. The investigators want to evaluate the technique of placement of the double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT) using an included stylet that has been radically bent (ZU-bend) as compared to a commercial GlideRite stylet with the GlideScope and direct laryngoscopy using the Macintosh laryngoscope. A double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT) is a breathing tube utilized to manage the airway when lung separation is needed for a surgical procedure. The investigator wants to evaluate how long it takes for successful placement of the double-lumen endobronchial tube (DLT) and assess the difficulty of the procedure experienced by the physician performing the intubation.
