Abstract
Conclusion: The new technique of left bronchial intubation with a preshaped endotracheal tube was simple, safe, and easily accomplished. A Fogarty catheter can be positioned properly without the aid of a smaller bronchoscope once the left bronchus is intubated. Balloon displacement can be avoided completely if the left lung is collapsed properly and completely before the final balloon inflation.
