Surgeons are occasionally called on to manage patients with penetrating cardiac injuries who arrive at the ED in extremis. Immediate thoracotomy in the ED is associated with good resuscitative results in a select group of such patients, but cardiorrhaphy is often impeded by frequent inflations of the left lung during resuscitation. We investigated a technique for selective right-lung ventilation using a standard single-lumen endotracheal tube in cadaver and animal models. This technique is easily applicable, provides adequate oxygenation and ventilation for up to 60 min, and expedites cardiorrhaphy in the ED.
