Comparing two training methods for placing a breathing tube with a flexible bronchoscope
This study compares two training methods for doctors learning to place a breathing tube using a flexible bronchoscope (a thin, flexible tube with a camera). It aims to see if a low-cost model works as well as a more expensive part-task trainer for teaching this skill.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are a first- or second-year resident (PGY1 or PGY2) in pulmonology, ENT, or anesthesia.
- You have no previous experience with flexible bronchoscopy-guided intubation (a technique using a thin, flexible tube to help place a breathing tube).
- You are based at one of the eight medical centers chosen for this study.
- You are willing to participate in a training session comparing two different training methods.

This study tests if a special training method (PDCA cycle) helps emergency medicine residents learn how to place a breathing tube (intubation) more effectively. It might help improve your skills and confidence in a critical emergency procedure.
This study is testing a new medical tool that helps doctors place a breathing tube during emergencies. It is being tried out in a simulated (practice) setting with emergency medicine residents to see if it works well.
This trial tests whether a training tool that uses CT scans to create digital copies of patients (digital twins) can help new doctors learn bronchoscopy faster. It may help trainees become skilled more quickly, which could lead to safer procedures for patients.
This study tests whether using 3D-printed models of airways helps medical students learn to place breathing tubes (endotracheal intubation) more successfully. Researchers will compare traditional training methods with this new 3D printing technology.
This study compares different assessment tools doctors use to predict whether a patient might have difficulty placing a breathing tube during anesthesia. By participating, you help researchers understand which prediction methods work best, which could improve safety for future patients.
This study compares two methods to insert a special breathing tube (double-lumen tube) for lung surgery. One method uses a camera on a flexible scope (fiberoptic bronchoscopy) and the other uses a video laryngoscope. Your participation could help doctors know which method works better.
