Robotic Bronchoscopy – Uptraining Protocol

Studies have shown that competency as to related to yields improves after 35 cases.

  • 5 cases – observing live cases. during downtime, performing >50 repetitions on simulator
  • 5 cases – Registration + Planning
  • 10 cases – Localization with utilization of rEBUS and CBCT
  • 5 cases – assisting with biopsies
  • 5 full cases – performed while you are observed
  • 5 full cases performed alone – with dedicated staff on backup in the bronch suite
