    In this exploding era of Airway equipment invention, when every other day one or other company is pushing their airway equipments with tall claims, this case report rightly signifies the importance of having a critical eye and mind while using these gadgets!

     

    This report is critically prepared having both clinical observations and their objective confirmation, which are subject to further, larger studies (may be by the manufacturers themselves), mean while suggesting a note of caution to the average, naive anesthesiologist in their day to day working, which may save them from a adverse clinical outcome.

     

    I congratulate authors for their keen observation but would have appreciated some better quality pictures.

  • Other Comments:

    The authors describe an important clinical problem of using glidescope for DLT. They have also discussed the posssible reasons and suggestions to overcome the problem. The length is adequate for case report and diction is good. The figures need to improve in quality.

  • Other Comments:

    This is a well-written, useful contribution to the airway literature. The authors show how the use of the Verathon GlideRite® DLT Stylet can produce a small but important change in the distal bronchial lumen of a double lumen tube that can at times present a clinical problem. Well-done.
