Summary

The aim of this study is to make a health economic evaluation comparing novice physicians use of VivaSight double-lumen tube and a conventional double-lumen tube for single-lung ventilation during thoracic surgery at a teaching hospital. The hypothesis is, that both double-lumen tubes are equally cost-effective and the the incidence of fiberoptic bronchoscope use it the same for both tubes.
