<p class="jove_content">This protocol describes the standardized placement of bronchial blockers performed directly in the lateral decubitus position during video-assisted thoracic surgery. The goal is to improve device stability, reduce repositioning-related displacement, minimize the need for fiberoptic bronchoscopy, and optimize procedural efficiency and perioperative airway management during one-lung ventilation.</p>
