Abstract: Sixty patients with esophageal carcinoma undergoing thoracoscopic-laparoscopic resection were randomly divided into two groups with 30 cases in each group:endobronchial blocker was used during operation in group E and double-lumen tube( DLT) was used in group D.The results showed that compare to group D,intubation time was shorter and the incidence of postoperative hoarseness and sore throat was lower in group E [(27.4 ±8.6) vs.(37.2 ±10.3)s, 1 and 9 cases,5 and 14 cases, all P<0.05 ]; while the incidence of blockage shifting was higher in group E than group D (4 cases and 0, P<0.05).There were no significant differences in positioning time and effects of one lung ventilation between two groups[(115.6 ± 25.2) vs.(112.2 ±27.2) s, P>0.05].The study indicates that application of endobronchial blocker can reduce the incidence of postoperative hoarseness and sore throat and shorten the intubation time;especially, it is easy to operate and there is no need to replace the tube after surgery.
