Table 2 Intubation time of LDLT.

	Group UE (n=52)	Group MedAn (n=52)	P value
Laryngoscopy time (s)	18.5 (14.3, 23)	17.0 (13.25, 22.75)	0.534
LDLT placement time (s)	30.0 (25.3, 36)	23.0 (18.0, 26.0)	<0.001
Time to successful intubation (s)	49.0 (44, 56.8)	42.0 (32.35, 47.0)	<0.001
LDLT – left double-lumen tube; Group UE – LDLT intubation with the UE videolaryngoscope; Group MedAn – LDLT intubation with the MedAn videolaryngoscope with the Nishikawa blade. Data are presented as median (IQR, interquartile range).
