    AbstractThe Univent tube is a new form of bronchial blocker and is an addition to the armamentarium of the anesthesiologist for managing thoracic surgical cases. As with any new equipment/technique it will require time until the exact indications for its use become clear. The preference of anesthesiologists has oscillated between bronchial blockers and DLTs for the past 50 years, and no overall "best" method of providing OLV has yet been found. Anesthesiologists will continue to use, and to need to know how to use, DLTs for the foreseeable future.
