SHILLY Double Lumen Tube 6.4 6FEN Product Overview

Key Benefits of SHILLY Double Lumen Tube

• Precise Lung Isolation: Enables clear surgical fields and reduces lung movement, which is critical during thoracic surgery.
• Independent Ventilation: Allows for differential ventilation strategies, crucial for managing patients with varying lung compliance or pathologies.
• Optimal Patient Positioning: Its design supports various patient positions required for surgical access, ensuring flexibility in the operating room.
• Minimizes Trauma: Crafted from medical-grade materials to reduce potential for airway irritation and trauma during insertion and use.
• Reliable Performance: Engineered for consistent and secure placement, ensuring effective lung separation throughout procedures.

How to Use SHILLY Double Lumen Tube 6.4 6FEN

1. Pre-insertion Preparation: Pre-oxygenate the patient and prepare all necessary equipment, including a laryngoscope, fiberoptic bronchoscope, and anesthetic agents.
2. Oral/Nasal Introduction: Carefully introduce the tube orally or nasally, guided by direct laryngoscopy or video laryngoscopy, ensuring smooth passage into the trachea.
3. Tracheal Cuff Placement: Advance the tracheal cuff just beyond the vocal cords and inflate it sufficiently to create a seal, checking for bilateral breath sounds.
4. Bronchial Cuff Advancement: Rotate the tube and advance the bronchial lumen into the desired main bronchus (left or right, depending on the tube type), then inflate the bronchial cuff.
5. Confirm Position: Confirm proper placement using auscultation, capnography, and critically, fiberoptic bronchoscopy to visualize both lumens and cuffs.
6. Secure and Monitor: Secure the tube appropriately to prevent dislodgement and continuously monitor cuff pressures and patient ventilation throughout the procedure.

Caution & Warnings

• Single Use Only: This device is designed for single use on one patient only and should not be reprocessed or reused.
• Professional Use: To be used exclusively by trained and experienced medical personnel in a clinical environment.
• Airway Trauma Risk: Exercise extreme care during insertion to minimize the risk of tracheal or bronchial trauma.
• Cuff Management: Ensure proper cuff inflation volumes to avoid air leaks or excessive pressure leading to ischemic damage to the trachea/bronchus.
• Continuous Monitoring: Maintain continuous monitoring of tube position, cuff pressures, and patient ventilation during the entire procedure.
• Sterility: Do not use if the sterile package is opened or damaged. Inspect the tube for any defects prior to use.
