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

January 30, 2024 updated by: Gang Hou, China-Japan Friendship Hospital

Learning Curve for the Diagnosis of Interstitial Lung Disease by Transbronchial Lung Cryobiopsy and the Role of Standardized Training in it

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.
