The Role of Standardized Training in the Diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease by Transbronchial Lung Cryobiopsy

The aim of this study was to conduct a prospective randomized controlled trial to design simulator and in vitro lung standardized training, to perform a learning curve evaluation of transbronchial lung cryobiopsy (TBLC) operating physicians, and to assess the role of standardized training in TBLC.

Treatment and study plan

simulated training

Other

Simulation training of bronchoscopists by means of simulators and extracorporeal lungs

traditional bedside teaching

Other

TBLC training for bronchoscopists through traditional lectures, hands-on demonstrations

Primary outcomes

  1. Obtain pathologic quality assessment of specimens

    Time frame: 1 month

    The quality of TBLC sampling specimens was scored by two professional pathologists on a specialized pathology scale.

  2. histopathological pattern diagnosis rate

    Time frame: 1 month

    Diagnosis of histopathological patterns was performed by two specialized pathologists to determine a consistent diagnostic rate.

  3. diagnostic rate of multidisciplinary discussions

    Time frame: 1 month

    Diagnostic rates based on composite TBLC, BAL, clinical and imaging data in a multidisciplinary discussion by clinical experts

Secondary outcomes

  1. Occurrence of short-term adverse events

    Time frame: 24 hours or 7 days

    bleeding and pneumothorax occurred with 24 hours after TBLC, acute exacerbation of ILD and death occurred with 7 days after TBLC
