A double-lumen tube is an endotracheal tube designed to isolate the lungs anatomically and physiologically. Double-lumen tubes are the most commonly used tubes to provide independent ventilation for each lung. One-lung ventilation or lung isolation is the mechanical and functional separation of the 2 lungs to allow selective ventilation of only one lung. The other lung that is not being ventilated passively deates or is displaced by the surgeon to facilitate surgical exposure for non-cardiac operations in the chest such as thoracic, esophageal, aortic and spine procedures. But due to the larger size and more complex design than the single lumen tube (SLT), intubation with a DLT can be a challenge, especially in paediatric patients. We present a case of 2.5 month female child, weighing 3 kgs , diagnosed antenatally by ultrasound with bronchogenic cyst .Left thoracotomy with excision of cyst was the planned surgery for the patient

One-lung ventilation can be achieved with a double-lumen tube or a bronchial blocker. However, the larger outer diameters of double-lumen or Univent tubes may prevent their passage through an area of subglottic stenosiss. We present five cases of subglottic stenosis in which a Fogarty catheter was used as a bronchial blocker through a single-lumen endotracheal tube. The outer diameters of a double-lumen tube, Univent tube and single-lumen tube were compared. Despite special equipment designed for one-lung ventilation, the use of a bronchial blocker through a single-lumen tube, which has the thinnest available wall thickness, seems to be one of the most effective and safest ways of achieving one-lung ventilation in patients with subglottic stenosis or narrowing.
