Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
For confirmation of position of double lumen tube fiberoptic bronchoscope is used which is invasive and not usually available at all settings. So in this study, Ultrasound method will be used for assessment of correct position of DLT as compared to clinical method. Ultrasound is non-invasive, inexpensive, non-traumatizing and usually available at resource limiting settings.Timepoint: For confirmation of position of double lumen tube fiberoptic bronchoscope is used which is invasive and not usually available at all settings.
