Abstract

The integrated electronic display model for teaching bronchoscopic technique has been most helpful in guiding the student-bronchoscopist, especially in the early stages of reorientation in both the procedure for insertion and the practice of identification of the individual segmental orifice. The display board is electronically integrated with the lung model (Zavala) in the manikin (Laerdal), which displays the position of the tip of the exploring flexible bronchoscope. This helps the student to approximate his distance and gauge movement and deflection from bronchial orifice to orifice. Simultaneously, he can also learn how to centrally position the tip of the instrument in the lumen, which is essential in brushing biopsy, and how to prevent mucosal injury. Instruction in open bronchoscopic examination has also been used successfully in this teaching model.
