Simultaneous Visualization of an Iatrogenic Cuff Rupture in a Patient Intubated with a Video-Double Lumen TubeHija Yazıcıoğlu1, Bilfer Özler1, Alkın Yazıcıoğlu2, Mahmut Subaşı2, Ayşegül Özgök11Department of Anesthesiology and Reanimation, University of Health Sciences, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Türkiye2Department of Thoracic Surgery, University of Health Sciences, Ankara Bilkent City Hospital, Ankara, Türkiye VivaSightTM Video-Double Lumen Tube (V-DLT) is a new DLT with an embedded camera. It is connected to a monitor that continuously demonstrates the position of the tube relative to that of the carina. It is very effective for the rapid placement of the DLT. Additionally, it recognizes tube repositioning and maintains one-lung ventilation. There is no risk of contamination because it is disposable. Herein, we present the case of a patient where simultaneous visualization allowed the detection of an iatrogenic cuff rupture in a patient intubated with VivaSight V-DLT and the challenging anesthetic management following air leakage during remainder of the procedure.
