Purpose
Thoracic surgeries usually require lung isolation techniques. Double-lumen tube (DLT), either right or left sided, is the most frequent tool used to realize this technique. In front of difficult airways, the use of videolaryngoscopy (GllideScope®) (GS) may advantageous. Hypothesis: We will test the hypothesis that under GS, the use of a specific semi-rigid stylet is efficacious to insert a DLT, and also safe. The increased rigidity of the GlideRite DLT Stylet for double-lumen tubes will enable the DLT to keep its form while it is railroaded into superior airways. This new stylet combined to Glidescope® utilization will increase the rate of successful intubation, especially in patients with difficult airways. This technique will allow us to directly intubate with a DLT using the GlideScope®, avoiding a beforehand SLT intubation and airway exchange catheter use. Consequently, its use could reduce risks associated to blind insertion of DLT with airway exchange catheter (airway traumatism and pulmonary aspiration). Primary objective: To determine the GlideRite DLT Stylet efficiency for double-lumen tubes orotracheal intubation under videolaryngoscopy (GllideScope®). Secondary objectives: to time successful intubation, to count the number of intubation attempt, to verify the influence of difficult intubation score (DIS) on successful intubation, and to log complications associated to its use. Exclusion criterion are: previous history of difficult intubation, anticipated difficult mask ventilation, and anticipated difficult intubation. Conclusion: The aim of using the GlideRite DLT Stylet for an orotracheal intubation under videolaryngoscopy is to allow the primary intubation with a DLT in patients with abnormal superior airways. These anomalies are more and more frequent. Alternative airway management implies more manipulations, leading to an increased risk of oxygen desaturation, lung aspiration, and airway lesions. Moreover, these alternatives take more time than using a Glidescope, which can be compare to direct laryngoscopy. The development of a semi-rigid stylet, such as the GlideRite DLT Stylet, is a great advancement in the management of primary intubation with DLT, mainly in face of difficult airways.

- Number of Successfull Primary Placement of the Double Lumen Tube. [ Time Frame: 1 hour (Post intubation) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]To evaluate the number of participants where GlideRite DLT Stylet® associated to the video laryngoscopy (GlideScope®)allowed the primary placement of the double lumen tube into their trachea.
- Duration of the Intubating Process [ Time Frame: 1 hour (Post intubation) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The timer was started when the GLS blade was inserted between the lips and stopped when the proximal part of the tracheal cuff was passed through the vocal cords. When a patient had teeth at the superior jaw, the DLT was first inserted into the mouth prior to the insertion of the GLS blade in order to avoid rupturing the tracheal cuff. For these cases, the timer was started when the DLT was inserted between the lips.
- Number of Attempt to Obtain a Successful Intubation [ Time Frame: 1 hour (Post intubation) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Correlation Between the Difficult Intubation Score and a Successful Intubation [ Time Frame: 1 hour (Post intubation) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
- Number of Complications Associated to the GlideRite DLT Stylet® Utilization [ Time Frame: 1 hour (Post intubation) ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]Complications defined either as oxygen desaturation below 95%, oxygen desaturation below 90%, minor bleeding, anatomic lesion.
