1 Rüsch EZ-Blocker Endobronchial Blocker The next generation of one-lung ventilation

2 Rüsch EZ-Blocker Endobronchial Blocker Innovative, Intuitive, Secure Minimally invasive, next generation bronchus blocker, designed to enhance your patient outcomes Innovative The EZ-Blocker Endobronchial Blocker from Teleflex was developed by an anaesthetist for use by anaesthetists to provide an improved device for lung isolation. The EZ-Blocker Endobronchial Blocker has a Y-shaped distal end that mirrors the bifurcation of the trachea. Intuitive The bifurcated distal end of the EZ-Blocker Endobronchial Blocker allows for the intuitive placement of the cuffs in the right or left bronchus. Once the EZ-Blocker Endobronchial Blocker is advanced through the distal end of a single-lumen endotracheal tube, the bifurcated cuffs separate and are naturally directed into the left and right main stem bronchi. Secure The EZ-Blocker Endobronchial Blocker is securely placed at the carina without the need for navigation of the cuff into either of the bronchi. 1 With the EZ-Blocker Endobronchial Blocker, cuff inflation can be performed just before lung isolation, which minimises the need to manipulate the catheter after placement and reduces the potential for the cuffs to become dislodged. 1 Mungroop, H, Wai PTJ, Morei NM, Loef, BG, Epema AH. Lung Isolation with a new Y shaped bronchial blocker, the EZ-Blocker. British Journal of Anaesthesia; 2010; 104(1): Radiopaque shaft Bifurcated distal extensions (Y-shaped) Colour coded, allowing safe identification and corresponds with the colour codes on the cuff inflation control balloons Radiopaque Cuffs made of polyurethane, provide excellent seal for long surgical procedures (up to 8 hours) Placement into ETT Usual patient intubation technique No need to reintubate patient after procedure

3 EZ-Multiport Adaptor Facilitates ventilation, EZ-Blocker placement, and the introduction of fibre optic or video bronchoscopes and suction catheters Depth markers Indicate the distance to the distal tip of the EZ-Blocker Two distinct proximal balloons Yellow transparent proximal balloon matches the yellow distal extension Blue transparent proximal balloon matches the blue distal extension Central lumen Allows oxygen to be administered (CPAP) to the isolated lung during surgery For CO2 flow check to ensure cuff is providing a good seal

4 Rüsch EZ-Blocker Endobronchial Blocker For a Successful Performance Easy handling, quick placement, safe procedure Intubate: 4 cm between ETT tip & carina are required for the expansion of the EZ-Blocker tips. Keep the ETT straight, don t twist. Always keep the EZ-Blocker horizontal. Slowly advance the EZ-Blocker to saddle the carina. Advance the ETT and check the EZ-Blocker position. Check the minimum occlusion volume. Choose your collapse: resorption or DLT mimic. Fibre optic or video bronchoscopy should be used for placement and proper positioning. The EZ-Blocker is available in one size only. It is used in combination with a single lumen endotracheal tube, therefore no reintubation is required after EZ-Blocker removal.
