TL;DR
This bronchoscopy simulator was very effective in teaching residents the psychomotor skills necessary for fiberoptic intubation, as well as other performance indicators.
Abstract
This research showed that the AccuTouch Bronchoscopy Simulator is an effective way to teach the psychomotor skills necessary to intubate the trachea of patients using a fiberoptic bronchoscope. The residents that practiced on the Simulator dramatically improved their skills compared with a control group of residents.
