Application of AirwayEx@ software in fiberoptic bronchoscopy training of residents / 中华医学教育探索杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To investigate the validity of AirwayEx@ software in fiberoptic bronchoscopy teaching of standardized residency training.Methods:A total of 36 residents from Department of Anesthesiology, Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University were selected as objects and randomized into AirwayEx@ software teaching group (group A, n=18) and control group (group C, n=18). All residents had completed traditional learning course of fiberoptic bronchoscopy before training. Group A adopted AirwayEx@ software teaching method and group C took the traditional video teaching method. The training course lasted for two weeks in both groups, and the learning effects of two groups were compared. SPSS 19.0 was used to conduct t-test and Pearson chi-square test. Results:①After the training, the time required for successful tracheal intubation in group A was significantly reduced by 62.76%, the assessment results increased by 30.03%, and the success rate of one-time tracheal intubation was significantly increased by 61.11%. While, the time required for successful tracheal intubation in group C was significantly reduced by 27.96%, the assessment results increased by 10.51%, and the success rate of one-time tracheal intubation did not change obviously. The learning effect in group A was significantly superior to that in group C ( P<0.05). ②Compared with the group C, the group A teaching mode was significantly more interesting and effective ( P<0.05). Conclusion:Compared with the traditional video teaching, the application of AirwayEx@ software in simulating the operational teaching of fiberoptic bronchoscopy show more interest and has better effect.
