1. An endobronchial tube having proximal and distal ends comprising:
a. a midline partition dividing said endobronchial tube into a tracheal ventilation tube and a bronchial ventilation tube, each of said tracheal ventilation tube and said bronchial ventilation tube having proximal and distal ends; wherein said tracheal ventilation tube and said bronchial ventilation tube are configured to have different lengths, wherein said bronchial ventilation tube extends beyond said tracheal ventilation tube such that said bronchial ventilation tube distal end is located distally to said tracheal ventilation tube distal end; b. an external wall defining an external surface of said endobronchial tube; said external wall comprising a plurality of channels formed within said external wall, each channel having a proximal end adjacent to said endobronchial tube proximal end, said plurality of channels comprising an image sensor channel having a distal end adjacent to said tracheal ventilation tube distal end; a cleaning channel having a distal end adjacent to said tracheal ventilation tube distal end, a tracheal cuff channel having a distal end adjacent to said tracheal ventilation tube distal end; and a bronchial cuff channel having a distal end adjacent to said bronchial ventilation tube distal end; wherein the diameter of said image sensor channel is smaller at said proximal end and larger at said distal end of said image sensor channel; c. a flaring at the distal end of said tracheal ventilation tube forming a cover over the distal end of said image sensor channel; d. an image sensor arrangement comprising an image sensor and light source housed interior and adjacent to the distal end of said image sensor channel; wherein said light source is selected from the group consisting of at least one LED, optical fiber, waveguide, light guide, and any combination thereof; wherein said image sensor is selected from the group consisting of a CCD and CMOS image sensor; e. a cleaning nozzle arrangement in fluid communication with the distal end of said cleaning channel and proximal to said image sensor arrangement; wherein said nozzle arrangement comprises a primary nozzle aimed such that fluid exits the nozzle towards the distal end of said image sensor and a plurality of secondary nozzles aimed such that fluid exits the nozzle towards the area immediately distal to said image sensor arrangement; f. image sensor conducting wires and an image sensor connector, said image sensor conducting wires having a proximal end connected to said image sensor connector and a distal end connected to said image sensor and said light source such that said image sensor connector is electrically connected to said image sensor and said light source and is in image transfer data communication with said image sensor; g. an image sensor conducting wire notch, wherein the proximal end of said image sensor channel includes said image sensor conducting wire notch through which said image sensor conducting wires exit said image sensor channel; h. an inflatable tracheal cuff attached to said external wall of said endobronchial tube and positioned proximal to the distal end of said tracheal ventilation channel and in fluid communication with said tracheal cuff channel; i. an inflatable bronchial cuff attached to said external wall of said endobronchial tube and positioned proximal to the distal end of said bronchial ventilation channel and in fluid communication with said bronchial cuff channel; wherein said endobronchial tube has a gauge from 26 Fr to 44 Fr; wherein said tracheal cuff and said bronchial cuff are individually inflatable; wherein said external wall of said endobronchial tube has a medial curvature adjustable from 100 degrees to 160 degrees; and wherein said external wall of said endobronchial tube has a left or right bronchial insertion compatible distal curvature; said distal curvature adjustable from 25 degrees to 70 degrees. |
