Procedural times with robotic-assisted bronchoscopy: a high volume single-center study.

Background: Incidental and screen-detected pulmonary nodules are common. The increasing capabilities of advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy will increase bronchoscopists' procedural volume necessitating optimization of procedural scheduling and workflow.

Objectives: The objectives of this study were to determine total time in the procedure room, total bronchoscopy procedure time, and robotic-assisted bronchoscopy procedure time longitudinally and per specific procedure performed.

Examining the perception of undergraduate health professional students of their learning environment, learning experience and professional identity development: a mixed-methods study.

Background: The quality of the learning environment significantly impacts student engagement and professional identity formation in health professions education. Despite global recognition of its importance, research on student perceptions of learning environments across different health education programs is scarce. This study aimed to explore how health professional students perceive their learning environment and its influence on their professional identity development.

Tools for measuring curriculum integration in health professions' education: a systematic review.

Background: Curriculum integration is an important educational concept widely implemented by various educational institutions, particularly within the healthcare field. Its significance lies in enhancing the preparation of future healthcare professionals. The assessment of these integrated curricula is imperative to guarantee their effectiveness.

Sustained Clinical Benefits of Spiration Valve System in Patients with Severe Emphysema: 24-Month Follow-Up of EMPROVE.

Follow-up of patients with emphysema treated with endobronchial valves is limited to 3-12 months after treatment in prior reports. To date, no comparative data exist between treatment and control subjects with a longer follow-up. To assess the durability of the Spiration Valve System (SVS) in patients with severe heterogeneous emphysema over a 24-month period.

Radiation dose of cone beam CT combined with shape sensing robotic assisted bronchoscopy for the evaluation of pulmonary lesions: an observational single center study.

Background: Shape sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (ssRAB) combined with radial endobronchial ultrasound (r-EBUS) and cone beam computed tomography (CBCT) is a newer diagnostic modality for the evaluation of pulmonary lesions. There is limited data describing the radiation dose of CBCT combined with ssRAB. The purpose of this study was to describe the technical factors associated with the use of CBCT combined with ssRAB to biopsy pulmonary lesions.
