Abstract:

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.
