“…Five studies [ 14 , 15 , 20 , 28 , 29 ] targeted left-sided DLT placement; one study [ 30 ] inspected bilateral DLT intubation; and the remaining two studies [ 27 , 31 ] did not specify the type of DTL used, as the side of DLT was selected according to the judgement of anesthesiologists who performed the intubation. The diagnostic accuracy of lung ultrasound was compared with that of clinical evaluations in seven studies [ 14 , 15 , 20 , 27 , 28 , 30 , 31 ] and FOB in one study [ 29 ]. The tube position was determined by FOB [ 14 , 20 , 27 , 28 , 30 , 31 ] or visualization of lung collapse during surgery [ 15 , 29 ] ( Table 1 ).…”
