Tracheal injuries, vocal cord injuries, sore throat and hoarseness are common complications of double-lumen tube (DLT) intubation.
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of 'video double-lumen tubes' (VDLTs) on intubation complications in patients undergoing thoracic surgery.
A randomised controlled study.
Xuzhou Cancer Hospital, Xuzhou, China, from January 2023 to June 2023.
One hundred eighty-two patients undergoing elective thoracic surgery with one-lung ventilation were randomised into two groups: 90 in the DLT group and 92 in the VDLT group.
VDLT was selected for intubation in the VDLT group, and DLT was selected for intubation in the DLT group. A fibreoptic bronchoscope (FOB) was used to record tracheal and vocal cord injuries.
The primary outcomes were the incidence of moderate-to-severe tracheal injury and the incidence of vocal cord injury. The secondary outcomes included the incidence and severity of postoperative 24 and 48 h sore throat and hoarseness.
The incidence of moderate-to-severe tracheal injury was 32/90 (35.6%) in the DLT group, and 45/92 (48.9%) in the VDLT group ( P = 0.077; relative risk 1.38, 95% CI, 0.97 to 1.95). The incidence of vocal cord injury was 31/90 (34.4%) and 34/92 (37%) in the DLT and VDLT groups, respectively ( P = 0.449). The incidence of postoperative 24 h sore throat and hoarseness was significantly higher in the VDLT group than in the DLT group (for sore throat: P = 0.032, relative risk 1.63, 95% CI, 1.03 to 2.57; for hoarseness: P = 0.018, relative risk 1.48, 95% CI, 1.06 to 2.06).
There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of moderate-to-severe tracheal injury and vocal cord injury between DLTs and VDLTs. While improving the first-attempt success rate, intubation with VDLT increased the incidence of postoperative 24 h sore throat and hoarseness.

气管损伤、声带损伤、咽痛和声音嘶哑是双腔管(DLT)插管的常见并发症。
本研究旨在评估“视频双腔管”(VDLTs)在接受胸腔手术的患者中对插管并发症的影响。
随机对照研究。
中国徐州 2023 年 1 月至 6 月的徐州肿瘤医院。
182 例择期行单肺通气胸腔手术的患者被随机分为两组:90 例 DLT 组和 92 例 VDLT 组。
VDLT 组选择 VDLT 进行插管,DLT 组选择 DLT 进行插管。使用纤维支气管镜(FOB)记录气管和声带损伤。
主要结局是中重度气管损伤的发生率和声带损伤的发生率。次要结局包括术后 24 小时和 48 小时咽痛和声音嘶哑的发生率和严重程度。
DLT 组中重度气管损伤发生率为 32/90(35.6%),VDLT 组为 45/92(48.9%)(P=0.077;相对风险 1.38,95%CI,0.97 至 1.95)。DLT 组和 VDLT 组声带损伤的发生率分别为 31/90(34.4%)和 34/92(37%)(P=0.449)。术后 24 小时咽痛和声音嘶哑的发生率在 VDLT 组明显高于 DLT 组(咽痛:P=0.032,相对风险 1.63,95%CI,1.03 至 2.57;声音嘶哑:P=0.018,相对风险 1.48,95%CI,1.06 至 2.06)。
DLT 和 VDLT 之间中重度气管损伤和声带损伤的发生率无统计学差异。虽然 VDLT 提高了首次尝试成功率,但增加了术后 24 小时咽痛和声音嘶哑的发生率。
