Bronchoscopy
for Intensivists
| Bronchoscopy for Intensivists
Is bronchoscopy the exclusive domain of pulmonologists or can
other professionals such as intensivists also perform bronchoscopy
in well-defined clinical situations?
At VUmc we think that bronchoscopy can be integrated in the daily
practice of intensive care specialists. There are many aspects that
should be considered however, before bronchoscopic procedures can
be performed.
Hygiene and disinfection are important prerequisites, as well as
sufficient knowledge and skills by all professionals involved in a
bronchoscopic procedure.
During this course, which is especially designed for intensivists, the
participants can obtain the necessary knowledge. During three
hands-on sessions there is sufficient time to simulate bronchoscopic
procedures with the guidance of experts in a relaxed and friendly
environment.
This course is therefore a good introduction for intensivists
interested in performing bronchoscopy. We hope to welcome you in
Amsterdam next October.
