Health Economics
A Cost-Effectiveness Analysis Comparing the VivaSight Double-Lumen Tube and a Conventional Double-Lumen Tube in Adult Patients Undergoing Thoracic Surgery Involving One-Lung Ventilation.
Larsen et al.
By utilizing VivaSight-DL, there is a substantial reduction in the need for fiberoptic bronchoscopy to correct tube placement. By avoiding bronchoscopy during one lung ventilation, VivaSight-DL may present cost-savings in these procedures.

Procedural Workflow
A randomized comparison between the VivaSight double-lumen tube and standard double-lumen tube intubation in thoracic surgery patients
Palaczynski et al.
Video-double lumen tubes had significantly shorter intubation time compared to conventional double lumen tubes, easier intubation, and didn't require fiberoptic bronchoscopy.

Comparison of VivaSight double-lumen tube with a conventional double-lumen tube in adult patients undergoing video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery
Levy-Faber et al.
In a prospective study including 71 patients, use of VivaSight DL resulted in a signficantly reduced time to confirmation of tube position, and did not require the use of a fiberoptic bronchoscope during intubation or surgery. VivaSight DL enabled signficantly more rapid intubation versus traditional lumen tubes.

Intubation with vivasight or conventional left-sided double-lumen tubes: a randomized trial
Schuepbach et al.
In a prospective study evaluating the VivaSight DLT and conventional DLT in 20 patients each, the utilization of VivaSight DLT resulted in faster insertion and initial positioning of DLT, faster successful intubation, and easier correction of displacement versus the convetional DLT.

Patient Safety
Intubation with vivasight double-lumen tube versus conventional double-lumen tube in adult patients undergoing lung resection: A retrospective analysis
Granell et al.
VivaSight double-lumen tube reduces the need for fiberoptic bronchoscopy to confirm correct positioning of the double-lumen tube.

Comparing the rate of fiberoptic bronchoscopy use with a video double lumen tube versus a conventional double lumen tube - a randomized controlled trial
Onifade et al.
Use of VivaSight DLT required significantly lower rate of fiberoptic bronchoscopy compared to conventional double-lumen tube. Additionally, the time to confirm double-lumen tube placement was signficantly quicker, while the incidence of tube malpositioning was signficantly lower, when using VivaSight DLT.

Implications of VivaSight-DL: Procedural Impact of a Camera-Integrated Double Lumen Tube
Haislip et al.
A systematic review of the overall implications of utilizing VivaSight DLT for one-lung ventilation procedures found that use of thise video-integrated double lumen tube significantly reduces the time to intubation, need for flexible bronchoscope use, and may allow for early detection of tube displacement.

Product Performance
The VivaSight-DL double-lumen tube with integrated camera
Dean et al.
Utilizing VivaSight-DL alows for the constant monitoring of lumen tube positioning and detection of tube displacement during a procedure, which may eliminate the need or requirement for fiberoptic bronchoscopy to confirm correct placement throughout a case.
