AB Independent  lung  ventilation  (ILV)  was  first  used  in  thoracic  surgery  and  the  intubation  devices  were  developed  for  this  purpose.  Gale  and  Waters  first  reported  ILV  in  1931,  by  passing  a  single-lumen  endobronchial  tube  into  the  main  bronchus  of  the  dependent  nonoperative  lung  for  ventilation  and  exclusion  of  purulent  secretion  (if  present)  from  the  operative  lung.  In  1936,  Magill1  reported  endobronchial  placement  of  a  suction  catheter  with  a  balloon  to  occlude  the  operative  bronchus  and  tracheal  placement  of  an  ETT  to  ventilate  the  nonoperative  lung.  In  1947,  Moody2  encased  the  endobronchial  balloon  with  metal  studs  to  reduce  the  risk  of  balloon  dislodgment.
