Letter to Editor

It gives me great pleasure to introduce this teaching tool to my colleague's seniors and juniors who are practicing thoracic anesthesia. First I have gathered all tools commonly and currently in use for lung isolation which includes: double lumen tubes (Rusch, Mallinkrodt), Silbronch (Fuji), bronchial blockers (Arndt, Cohen), uniblocker (Fuji), Torque Control Blocker (TCB, Fuji). I have assembled these tools on hard board which currently I am using within my hospital for teaching our residents (Figure 1). Actually I am conducting thoracic anesthesia workshop in different places within and without the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, therefore I thought of soft version of TATB which is portable and easy to carry from place to another. It enclosed same contents as shown in the hard version (Figure 2). I called it thoracic case (Figure 3).
