The general aim of the study is to observe whether the use of the Mc Grath™ videolaryngoscope instead of direct laryngoscopy can represent, as in the case of the single-lumen tube, an added value in the placement of the double-lumen tube for surgical procedures involving one-lung ventilation, making intubation on the first attempt more likely and quicker. Secondary objectives include evaluating the presence of an advantage of the Mc Grath™ videolaryngoscope over direct laryngoscopy for the correct placement of the double-lumen tube, the need for additional maneuvers during the intubation procedure, and the presence of intra- and post-procedural complications.
Age > 18 years
General anesthesia
One-lung ventilation via double-lumen tube
Patients who refuse to consent to participation in the study.
Patients scheduled for awake intubation due to pre-operative evaluation findings of predictors of difficult oxygenation that contraindicate intubation under general anesthesia.
Patients with anatomical anomalies leading to tracheal and/or laryngeal displacement/compression.
Patients with contraindications to double-lumen tube placement.
