Article Synopsis
  • - The study highlights the importance of simulation in bronchoscopy training, allowing trainees to refine their skills ethically without putting patients at risk during their first experiences.
  • - Conducted at a university hospital, the research involved young doctors participating in three training sessions with varying intervals (15, 30, and 60 days) to assess improvements in dexterity, speed, and anatomical knowledge.
  • - Results showed that participants trained every 15 days saw a 40% reduction in procedure time and significant advancements in skill, making short intervals the most effective for skill development in bronchoscopy.

Background: Airway hyper-reactivity, inflammation and remodeling contribute to inhomogeneity of ventilation-perfusion ratio in asthma. Short-term variations in can cause changes in expired capnographic indices.

Objectives: To measure acute changes in the phase 3 slope of the volumetric capnogram after β2-agonist inhalation (ΔSIII), for comparison with airway response based on FEV1 (ΔFEV1), and asthma control.
