Background: Double-lumen endobronchial tubes (DLT) continue to be the most widely used method for obtaining lung isolation during anesthesia. We compared recommendations for DLT size selection with radiologically assessed lower airway dimensions gathered from a large patient population.
Methods: For this retrospective comparative study, we assessed computed tomography (CT) scans of 150 adults with no known airway pathologies.
