Observational StudyBronchial blocker positioning: learning curve and confidence in its use.
Despite being simple and safe to use and cheap, EZ blocker (EZB) remains underused probably because it requires particular skills in recognizing airway and in using fiber-bronchoscopy to check the exact position of their cuffs. Thus, we planned an education training program on the use of EZB for novices in anesthesia and evaluated the number of procedures required for the acquisition of the skills of this technique. ⋯ EZB is a valid strategy for obtaining one lung ventilation. Thus, it should be included in the armamentarium of all anesthetists interested in the field of thoracic surgery. Our teaching course seems to be a valuable method to instill easily and speedily in training novices in anesthesia the skills in placing EZB.
