Inclusion Criteria
American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) physical status I or II, scheduled for elective thoracic surgery requiring a left-sided double-lumen endotracheal tube (DLT) in a lateral decubitus position
Exclusion Criteria
patients who absolutely required a right-sided DLT, presented an intraluminal lesion in the left mainstem bronchus, had distorted anatomy of the tracheobronchial tree on chest radiograph, or had limited cervical movement.

- Not specified
- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Change of Tracheal distance (from distal opening of tracheal lumen of DLT to tracheal carina) during lateral positioning ;Change of Bronchial distance (from distal opening of bronchial lumen of DLT to bronchial carina) during lateral positioning
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Incidence of repositioning of the DLT due to an inappropriate position, which was defined as herniation of the blue-colored bronchial cuff with poor lung isolation or advancing too deeply into the left main bronchus with obstruction of the left upper lobe orifice, thereby not ensuring a clear view of the left secondary carina via the bronchial lumen.
