Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Surgical Training
  • Simulation Technology

Background:

  • Clinical procedural skills training faces increasing challenges.
  • Simulators offer a safe and cost-effective alternative for skills acquisition.
  • Evaluating the efficacy of bronchoscopy simulators in resident education is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the effectiveness of a bronchoscopy simulator in teaching clinical bronchoscopy skills to surgical residents.
  • To compare the performance of residents with and without simulator training.

Main Methods:

  • A randomized study involving three groups of surgical residents (PGY1 and PGY2-3).
  • PGY1 residents were randomized to receive preprocedural simulator training or no training.
  • Performance was evaluated based on procedure time, interventions required, and exam thoroughness, proficiency, and confidence.

Main Results:

  • Simulator-trained PGY1 residents required fewer interventions and performed more systematic examinations than untrained PGY1 residents.
  • The skill level of simulator-trained PGY1 residents matched that of experienced PGY2-3 residents.
  • Procedural times were comparable across groups due to evaluator pacing.

Conclusions:

  • One hour of bronchoscopy simulator training effectively imparts basic skills and anatomical knowledge.
  • Residents trained with the simulator demonstrated competence in first-time bronchoscopy, nearing the level of experienced practitioners.
