    AbstractTwo patients are described in whom double-lumen endotracheal tube malplacement and its ventilatory consequences were not detected by infrared capnography. Problems were suspected on auscultation, and the malplacement was diagnosed by means of bronchospirometry. We conclude that bronchospirometry helps detect problems with endotracheal intubation.
