From: Four different models for simulation-based training of bronchoscopic procedures
Endpoints | BronchoBoy Median (IQR) | Koken Median (IQR) | Cadaver Median (IQR) | Porcine lung Median (IQR) | n | P (Friedman’s test) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
This model is acceptable for simulation of a bronchoscopic airway inspection. | 4 (3–5) | 4 (4–5) | 5 (5–5) | 4 (3–5) | 7 | 0.05 |
The friction of the model was realistic compared to the human anatomy. | 3 (2–3) | 4 (2–4) | 5 (4–5) | 4 (3–5) | 7 | 0.01 |
The color of the bronchial tree was realistic compared to the color of the human bronchial tree. | 4 (3–4) | 3 (2–4) | 4 (4–5) | 4 (3–5) | 7 | 0.01 |
The surface structure of the bronchial tree in this model is acceptable for simulation purposes. | 4 (3–4) | 4 (4–5) | 4 (4–5) | 4 (3–4) | 6 | 0.03 |
This model is acceptable for simulation of installation and suctioning of fluids | 4 (3–4) | 4 (4–5) | 5 (4–5) | 5 (4–5) | 7 | 0.08 |
The maneuverability of the bronchoscope with and without tools was acceptable in this model. | 4 (4–5) | 5 (4–5) | 5 (4–5) | 5 (4–5) | 7 | 0.70 |
This model is acceptable for simulation of a tissue sampling procedure. | 3 (2–4) | 4 (3–5) | 5 (5–5) | 5 (4–5) | 7 | 0.004 |
