Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

887
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation V: Advanced Airway Management Techniques

771
Airway management is essential in emergency and surgical medicine, ensuring ventilation and oxygenation in patients who cannot maintain their own airway. Clinicians use a range of techniques and devices to secure the airway, depending on the patient’s condition and the clinical context. Key methods include endotracheal intubation, rapid sequence intubation (RSI), supraglottic airway devices, and advanced visualization aids. In cases where these approaches fail, surgical airway...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Virtual reality (VR) simulation training for flexible bronchoscopy resulted in slightly more thorough navigation compared to augmented reality (AR). VR training also led to lower mental demand but higher physical demand during practice.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Simulation
  • Respiratory Medicine
  • Surgical Training

Background:

  • Flexible bronchoscopy is a critical skill for managing respiratory diseases.
  • Bronchoscopy simulators accelerate competency development.
  • The comparative efficacy of augmented reality (AR) versus virtual reality (VR) simulation in training is not well-established.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To compare the effectiveness of VR and AR simulators in training novice bronchoscopists.
  • To assess end-of-training performance after mastery learning on either simulator.

Main Methods:

  • A single-center, single-blinded, randomized controlled trial involving 30 novice bronchoscopists.
  • Participants were randomized to VR (n=15) or AR (n=15) simulator training groups.
  • Training involved up to 2 hours of practice with mastery learning protocols, followed by performance assessment on two different training models.

Main Results:

  • The VR group showed marginally better diagnostic completeness (DC) in the first test (Bronchoboy) (p=0.0022).
  • In the second test (Koken), the AR group was faster (PT, p=0.0377), but performance was otherwise similar.
  • VR training involved more time (p=0.0468), lower mental demand (p=0.023), and higher physical demand (p=0.004) compared to AR.

Conclusions:

  • Both VR and AR simulator training enabled thorough, timely, and moderately ordered segmental navigation in novice bronchoscopists.
  • VR training appeared to lead to slightly more thorough navigation with reduced mental but increased physical demand.
  • Further research is needed to identify factors that optimize clinical proficiency through VR and AR bronchoscopic skills training.
