Abstract
The first description of the use of a double-lumen endotracheal tube system for lung surgery was reported in 1962.

Since then, several techniques have been developed to improve lung isolation while maintaining one-lung ventilation. This article discusses most common tubes used for lung isolation: left- and right-sided double-lumen endotracheal tubes

; wire-guided endobronchial blocker WEB (Cook Critical Care, Bloomington, IN)

; and independent bronchial blockers, such as the Fogarty (Baxter Healthcare Corporation, Irvine, CA) embolectomy catheter.

Table 1 outlines five specific areas in which lung isolation is required based on studies or unique case reports.
