What are the three main uses of DLTs?
What will be an ideal response?
DLTs are used to provide independent lung ventilation where isolation of the lungs is desirable in order to prevent lung-to-lung spillage of blood or pus. They are also used to provide one-lung ventilation so that the nonventilated lung may undergo surgical procedure on the thoracic structures with minimal movement. In disease conditions such as bronchopleural and bronchocutaneous fistulas, DLTs can provide ventilation by overcoming the persistent air leak through the fistulas.
