About this study

Official title: Repositioning Method for Left-sided Double Lumen Tubes Introduced Into Right Mainstem Bronchus

The purpose of this study is to devise repositioning method of a left-sided double lumen tube into left mainstem bronchus in case of misplacement into right mainstem bronchus.

Being tested

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • repositioning method for left-sided double lumen tubesProcedure or surgery

    When a left-sided double lumen tube were placed in right mainstem bronchus, after withdrawing the tube into mid-trachea, it was re-advanced with patient's head turned right and counterclockwise rotation of the tube.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

repositioning success rate (time frame: up to 10 minutes). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
