19 Summary Every patient that requires lung isolation should receive the benefit of a R or L-DLT Fiberoptic bronchoscopy must be used during placement of lung isolation devices during supine and lateral decubitus position or whenever a malposition occurs. Bronchial blockers recommended for difficult airways or selective cases Successful placement requires recognition of tracheobronchial anatomy javier-campos@uiowa.edu 19
