Bronchoscopy Blitz

Home Bronchoscopy Blitz

In this bronchoscopy blitz segment you will learn the following:

  1. Understanding Suction Variability: Gain insights into how different Single-Use Flexible Bronchoscopes perform under varying viscosities and suction pressures, simulating real-world ICU scenarios.
  1. Clinical Implications of Bronchoscope Size: Learn how bronchoscope size impacts suction performance, airway pressures, and patient safety, especially in critical care settings.
  1. Balancing Efficiency and Safety: Explore strategies to select appropriate bronchoscope sizes to optimize suction power without compromising patient ventilation or increasing risks like barotrauma.
  1. 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.

In this Bronchoscopy Blitz Segment, you will hear from Dr. Todd Hoopman as he discusses the landmark VERITAS study and the patient and economic benefits associated with incorporating ILLUMISITE into workflows.

Safer Biopsy, Same Yield: ILLUMISITE is the first and only solution that is clinically proven to offer a safer biopsy experience and the same diagnostic yield as CT-guided biopsy. †,1

† Based on a non-inferiority RCT; safer biopsy based on complication rate.
