- Abstract
The article focuses on the evolution of bronchial blockers in anaesthesia, highlighting their role in lung isolation and ventilation during thoracic surgery. Topics include the historical development of bronchial blockade techniques, the shift from "side-by-side" placement to co-axial insertion with single-lumen endotracheal tubes, and a case report illustrating the continued relevance of "side-by-side" positioning in certain clinical scenarios.
