About

to assess the efficacy of lung ultrasound versus conventional auscultation method and fiberoptic bronchoscopy in confirmation of double lumen tube position

Full description

Confirmation of double lumen tube position by auscultation followed fiberoptic bronchoscopy then lung ultrasound. After double lumen intubation all patient tube position will be confirmed using auscultation then fiberoptic bronchoscopy then lung ultrasound
