CAE Endoscopic Simulator
The CEA endoscopic simulator is a computer based simulator with a haptic interface that provides force feedback to emulate the look and feel of an actual procedure. The simulator has interchangeable anatomical plates and scopes to allow for training in bronchoscopy, upper G.I and lower G.I. procedures individually on a single platform.
Some key features:
Bronchoscopy modules
- Discuss the indications, contraindications and complications of flexible bronchoscopy and the skills necessary to perform a bronchoscopic examination of the upper and lower airway
- Describe and perform the correct technique for holding and manipulating the bronchoscope
- Discuss the anatomic structures external to the lungs that are relevant to the bronchoscopist and the spatial relationship of the tracheobronchial tree to adjacent anatomic structures
- Discuss the anatomic structures external to the lungs that are relevant to the bronchoscopist and the spatial relationship of the tracheobronchial tree to adjacent anatomic structures
- Describe the procedural steps necessary to perform a complete bronchoscopic examination of the upper and lower airway
- Understand the anatomy of the upper and lower airway as viewed through a bronchoscope
- Visualize the structure of the tracheobronchial tree and identify a variety of endobronchial lesions.
