The EZ-Blocker (EZB) is a "Y-shaped," semirigid endobronchial blocker used for lung isolation and one-lung ventilation during thoracic surgery. Like many medical tools, initial efforts to use this endobronchial blocker may prove challenging for the uninitiated. However, some tips and tricks can be applied fairly rapidly to aid the clinician in properly placing the device, and, furthermore, may help the clinician get the most out of this innovative device.

The presence of a tracheal bronchus, which is often incidentally discovered, complicates endotracheal intubation and lung isolation during thoracic surgery. Prior reports of successful right-sided lung isolation in the presence of tracheal bronchus required utilization of a double lumen tube. Although right-sided lung isolation was required in our case, due to other patient factors, it was determined that a double lumen tube of a suitable size would be unlikely to be placed safely and successfully.

Background: The tracheal bronchus in Kartagener syndrome is a rare case that may cause difficulty in one-lung ventilation (OLV). Here we reported a case of successful OLV using bronchial blocker in a patient with tracheal bronchus and Kartagener syndrome (KS).
Case: A 66-year-old female patient with Kartagener syndrome was admitted for left-side diaphragmatic plication.

When massive hemoptysis develops suddenly, patients typically die due to hypovolemia or airway obstruction. Intubation, endobronchial blocking, and elimination of blood clots are urgently required. However, existing double-lumen tubes and single endobronchial balloon systems are inadequate.
