Abstract:
Objective: To design and prepare a fiberoptic bronchoscopy training box and to study its primary application. Methods: According to the length of optical fiber, the height, the length and the width of the box were set at 400 mm, 200 mm and 200 mm. The box contained 6 layers from the top to the bottom: the top-layer, layer-A, layer-B, layer-C, layer D and the bottom layer, with the area of each layer being 200 mm × 200 mm and the distance between each 2 layers was about 80 mm. According to the diameter of optical fiber, the diameter of the holes was set at 6 mm. Except for the bottom-layer, the other 5 layers had different numbers of holes: the top-layer and layer-A only had a central hole(central hole in every layer was defined as hole-0), layer B had 5 holes(hole-0 to 4), layer C had 9 holes(hole-0 to 8), layer D had 17 holes(hole-0 to 16). The training started from the top-layer. The orders were given according to the layers and the numbers of the holes and the orders were executed, then the box was open to examine the outcome of the execution. Results: We successfully designed a fiberoptic bronchoscopy training box. If the training instruction order was A0-B2-C4-D7, the trainees should manipulate the optical fiber via the central hole in top-layer and layer-A, hole-2 in layer B, hole 4 in layer-C, and hole-7 in layer-D. The results of manipulation can be examined after opening the door. Conclusion: The fiberoptic bronchoscopy training box is a easy-to-operate and practical tool for training of fiberoptic bronchoscopy manipulation.
