Abstract

OBJECTIVES: Bronchoscopy in the mechanically ventilated patient is an important skill for critical-care physicians. However, training opportunity is heterogenous and limited by infrequent caseload or inadequate instructor feedback for satisfactory competencies. A new artificial intelligence (AI) navigational system using augmented reality - the Ambu Broncho Simulator - can guide bronchoscopy training. Is training with the AI system comparable to bedside, expert tutor instruction in improving bronchoscopy performance?
