“…26 In the past, those in favor of a requisite number of bronchoscopies to become competent have relied primarily on expert opinion. There is a paucity of data to support these requisite numbers, as well as varying aptitudes among trainees, making the numbers diffi cult to standardize.…”

“…In addition, seven questions were posed to assess the content of the respondent's fellowship program (see e-Appendix 1 for full survey). Following Institutional Review Board approval (IRB committee III, Pro00009849), surveys were distributed to program directors at the Association of Pulmonary and Critical Care Program Directors Seventh Conference and Workshop in Hollywood, Florida (March [26][27]2011). In addition, three mailings were sent to the 154 accredited pulmonary/critical care fellowship programs in the United States and Puerto Rico listed by the American Medical Association.…”

CHEST / 143 / 2 / FEBRUARY 2013 423 P ulmonary and critical care medicine has seen vast improvements in technology develop over the past decade. Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is one such technology that has revolutionized the bronchoscopist's ability to both visualize and sample structures surrounding the tracheobronchial tree. Over the past 10 years, there has been a growing body of medical literature. A PubMed search for publications including EBUS from January 2002 cited 479 references, with more than one-half of these published within the past 3 years.EBUS fi rst became commercially available in 1999 with the production of a fl exible catheter with an ultrasound for application in the central airways. 1 This radial EBUS probe has a balloon tip that allows the

“…Minimum threshold numbers of procedures have been proposed (primarily by an expert opinion) to achieve competency in bronchoscopy 9,10 ; however, the reliability of such numbers has been called into question. 11,12 Previously, Ost et al 8 validated the accuracy of a bronchoscopy simulator to assess experience level, and by training new fellows on the bronchoscopy simulator, there was a more rapid acquisition of skill compared with conventional training. The exercise used in this study emphasized proper technique for airway inspection and identification of airway anatomy.…”

“…Expected proficiency based on an arbitrary minimum numbers of procedures has been proposed (Ernst et al 2003;Torrington 2000), yet the utility of such numeric criteria has been questioned (Alvarez et al 2004;Prakash 2003). Considering the number of studies demonstrating the efficacy (Seymour et al 2002), cost-effectiveness (Scott et al 2000), and advantages of simulation training in terms of patient safety (Martin et al 1998) and comfort (Sedlack et al 2004), one would expect bronchoscopy educators to embrace this new learning modality.…”

More than 500,000 flexible bronchoscopies are performed annually by chest physicians in the United States (Ernst et al., Chest 123:1693-1717, 2003). Indications include diagnosis of lung cancer and airway tumors, benign strictures, pulmonary infections, and treatment of central airway obstruction, emphysema, and intraepithelial lesions such as carcinoma in-situ. Anesthesiologists, cardiothoracic and trauma surgeons, otolaryngologists, and critical are physicians also perform this procedure as part of difficult airway management, intubation or airway inspection and bronchial toilet. Compared to the expanding body of simulation-related literature that is available in other procedural fields, however, the volume of published work relating to bronchoscopy is scant. The purpose of this paper is to provide an overview of the available literature pertaining to the use of simulation in bronchoscopy education, and to demonstrate how this limited yet valuable body of work lays a foundation for the future use of simulator-based bronchoscopy training.
