51
Q

What is the bottom port of a bronchial blocker for?

52
Q

What is the side port of a bronchial blocker for?

A

Connection of the ventilation circuit

53
Q

What is the top port of a bronchial blocker for?

A

Fiberoptic bronchoscope

54
Q

What is the angled side port of a bronchial blocker for?

A

The actual bronchial blocker itself

55
Q

What is another method for placement of a bronchial blocker?

A

A univent ETT

56
Q

Lumen of the univent ETT for the bronchial blocker

57
Q

What is the posterior lumen of the univent ETT used for?

A

Ventilation and the fiberoptic bronchioscope

58
