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

Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
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
NameTimeMethod
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.
