Dr. Javier D. Lasala, a cardiothoracic anesthesiologist in Houston, Texas, performs a robotic right lower lobe lobectomy while using Ambu’s VivaSight 2 DLT.
"In addition to patient safety, ease of use and reduced intubation time, another advantage is real time visualization. This provides us with continuous monitoring of the airway,” said Dr. Lasala.
In a recent study presented at ISPOR Europe 2023 that summarized the latest evidence on double lumen tubes, Ambu’s camera-integrated offering averaged 46% faster time to successful intubation in one-lung ventilation (OLV) procedures. Moreover, it also decreased the need to use a flexible bronchoscope by 81% to confirm correct DLT positioning in the patient compared with conventional methods.
