single-lumen endotracheal tube (ET) with intraluminal or extraluminal ballooned catheter such
as Univent, Arndt, Cohen, or EZ-blocker although they tend to deflate the isolated lung slowly.
Fiberoptic bronchoscopy is often used to facilitate the bronchial blocker placement and adjust
position when dislodged or misaligned.

In summary, DLTs were introduced from early animal and human physiology experiments
and have evolved into clinical practice (Table 1). These developments will continue with new
technology and material in the modern era with real-time visualization, built-in suctioning
capacity, easily converting to single-lumen tube, and minimized airway trauma.
