“…Designated airway programs are also prevalent in internal medicine-based critical care fellowship programs, 97 with 58% of United States programs surveyed (66% response rate) reporting a formal rotation and 70% incorporating simulation-based airway education. Fellows were reportedly taught FOI in 64% of programs.…”

SummaryFiberoptic intubation (FOI) is an effective technique for establishing airway access in patients with both anticipated and unanticipated difficult airways. First described in the late 1960s, this approach can facilitate airway management in a variety of clinical scenarios given proper patient preparation and technique. This paper seeks to review the pertinent technology, clinical techniques, and indications for and complications of its use. The role of FOI in airway management algorithms is discussed. Evidence is presented comparing FOI to other techniques with regard to difficult airway management. In addition, we have reviewed the literature on training processes and skill development in FOI.

“…97% of programmes had FOB available in the operating theatres and one third of residents performed more than 25 awake FOI. A survey of internal medicinebased and critical care fellowship programs reported that only 64% of programs taught FOI for the purposes of airway management [94]. Again, the number of supervised use of FOI was also found to be less than that required to achieve proficiency.…”

Simulation for Skills-based Education in Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine

The clinical practice of pulmonary and critical care medicine requires procedural competence in many technical domains, including vascular access, airway management, basic and advanced bronchoscopy, pleural procedures, and critical care ultrasonography. Simulation provides opportunities for standardized training and assessment in procedures without placing patients at undue risk. A growing body of literature supports the use and effectiveness of low-fidelity and high-fidelity simulators for procedural training and assessment. In this manuscript by the Skills-based Working Group of the American Thoracic Society Education Committee, we describe the background, available technology, and current evidence related to simulation-based skills training within pulmonary and critical care medicine. We outline working group recommendations for key procedural domains.
