  • Evaluation of animal models including canine, feline, leporine, and simian species.

    • Main Results:

    • Both mechanical and animal models offer valuable training opportunities.
    • Animal models provide realistic anatomical and physiological feedback.
    • Specific advantages and disadvantages exist for each model type regarding anatomy and anesthesia.

    Conclusions:

    • A variety of models can facilitate the development of flexible bronchoscopy skills.
    • Selection of the optimal model depends on specific training objectives and resources.
    • Further research may refine existing models and develop novel simulation techniques for pediatric bronchoscopy training.
