Bronchoscopy Blitz

In this bronchoscopy blitz segment you will learn the following:

Understanding Suction Variability: Gain insights into how different Single-Use Flexible Bronchoscopes perform under varying viscosities and suction pressures, simulating real-world ICU scenarios.

Clinical Implications of Bronchoscope Size: Learn how bronchoscope size impacts suction performance, airway pressures, and patient safety, especially in critical care settings.

Balancing Efficiency and Safety: Explore strategies to select appropriate bronchoscope sizes to optimize suction power without compromising patient ventilation or increasing risks like barotrauma.

Guidance for Future Practices: Understand the importance of aligning bronchoscope selection with clinical guidelines and the potential for new research to refine airway management approaches.
