Task

Description

Observation

Outcome

1. Simulation of bronchoscopic airway inspection

Visualization of bronchial segments

How many segments were identified in the model?

Number of segments

Was it possible to maneuver the bronchoscope into segment RB1 of the model without an endoscopic instrument in the working channel?

0 = RB1 not visited

1 = RB1 visited

Was it possible to maneuver the bronchoscope into segment RB6 of the model without an endoscopic instrument in the working channel?

0 = RB6 not visited

1 = RB6 visited

Maneuverability of bronchoscope with instruments

Was it possible to maneuver the bronchoscope into RB1 with an endoscopic instrument visible on the camera image?

0 = RB1 not visited

1 = RB1 visited

Was it possible to maneuver the bronchoscope into RB6 with an endoscopic instrument visible on the camera image?

0 = RB6 not visited

1 = RB6 visited

Advancement of bronchoscope

How far could the bronchoscope be advanced into a segment of the right lower lobe of the model?

Advancement of scope in cm

How far could the bronchoscope be advanced into a segment of the left upper lobe of the model?

Advancement of scope in cm

Secretions in the bronchial tree

How many times was it necessary to clean the lens inside the model?

Number of times

How many times was it necessary to remove the bronchoscope to clean the lens?

Number of times

2. Simulation of BAL procedure

Installation of fluids

How much fluid was instilled in the model?

Volume in ml

Was there any leakage of fluids from the model during the installation?

0 = Leakage of fluid at any time

1 = No leakage of fluid

Suctioning of fluids

How much fluid was retracted from the model during suctioning?

0 = Less than 30% of instilled fluid retracted

1 = 30% or more of instilled fluid retracted

3. Simulation of tissue sampling

Sampling procedure

Was it possible to perform three sampling procedures in the model?

0 = Not possible

1 = Sampling tissue was removed x 3
