Application of a Simulator-Based Teaching Method in the Training of the Flexible Bronchoscope-Guided Intubation.

BACKGROUND

The study aimed to explore the effect of a bronchoscopic simulator-based comprehensive teaching method in the training of flexible bronchoscope-guided intubation for suspected lung cancer patients for doctors without bronchofibroscopic operation background.

METHODS

We designed a prospective self-control study involved in 35 trainees from the Navy Military Medical University's affiliated hospital to evaluate flexible bronchoscope-guided intubation's training outcome. Before and after the practice training, we recorded the flexible bronchoscope passing time from nasal to visible glottis and carina, tracheal placement tube, and ventilation.

RESULTS

All 35 trainees could complete flexible bronchoscope-guided intubation independently after training.

CONCLUSIONS

The bronchial diagnosis for suspected lung cancer patients and treatment-based model can be widely applied in tracheal intubation training.
