Target Audience
This course is designed for pulmonologists, pulmonary fellows, advanced practice providers, nurses, physician assistants, technicians, respiratory therapists, internists, hospitalists, and intensivists seeking to enhance their bronchoscopy, interventional pulmonary techniques, and bedside pulmonary procedures such as thoracentesis and point-of-care ultrasound.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants should be able to:
- Describe the indications, techniques, and potential complications of bedside pulmonary procedures, including chest ultrasound, diagnostic and therapeutic thoracentesis, pigtail catheter placement, and chest tube insertion.
- Review the principles of pleural space interventions, including patient selection, procedural approaches, and complication management.
- Compare the diagnostic yield, safety profiles, and clinical applications of robotic bronchoscopy versus CT-guided transthoracic biopsy using evidence-based diagnostic yield criteria.
- Apply cryobiopsy and needle-based tissue acquisition techniques during robotic bronchoscopy to optimize diagnostic sampling and procedural outcomes.
- Demonstrate evidence-based techniques for bedside percutaneous tracheostomy placement, tracheostomy care, and tracheostomy exchange procedures.
- Identify and troubleshoot common challenges and complications encountered during pulmonary procedures through hands-on simulation-based training.
Attendance at any Mayo Clinic course does not indicate or guarantee competence or proficiency in the skills, knowledge or performance of any care or procedure(s) which may be discussed or taught in this course.
