Randomized Controlled Trial of Multi-Patient CT-Derived Digital Twin Anatomical Variability Training to Shorten the Clinical Learning Curve for Bronchoscopy
연구 개요
상태
상세 설명
The goal of this randomized controlled clinical trial is to determine whether multi-patient CT-derived digital twin anatomical variability training can shorten the early clinical learning curve of novice bronchoscopists compared with conventional anatomically uniform bronchoscopy simulation training. The study will enroll novice trainees in pulmonary medicine, critical care, thoracic surgery, anesthesiology, or related specialties who have performed ≤5 flexible bronchoscopies and have no prior formal bronchoscopy simulation training.
The main questions it aims to answer are: Whether multi-patient CT-derived digital twin anatomical variability training improves the early clinical learning curve during the first 1-30 supervised real-patient flexible bronchoscopies, as assessed by the Ontario Bronchoscopy Assessment Tool (OBAT) technical-diagnostic subscore.
Participants will:
- Complete baseline assessments, including prior experience, theoretical knowledge testing, confidence evaluation, and spatial ability assessment.
Be randomized to either:
Multi-patient CT-derived digital twin anatomical variability training, or Anatomically uniform standard-model bronchoscopy simulation training.
- Undergo standardized bronchoscopy simulation training with equal training duration, feedback intensity, hardware platform, and instructor supervision.
- Perform standardized post-training simulation transfer tests using previously unseen CT-derived airway models.
- Perform supervised real-patient low-risk diagnostic flexible bronchoscopies during clinical training.
- Undergo repeated competency assessments using the Ontario Bronchoscopy Assessment Tool (OBAT), procedural efficiency metrics, and safety evaluations.
Real-patient participants undergoing low-risk diagnostic bronchoscopy will also complete peri-procedural questionnaires evaluating anxiety, discomfort, cough/choking sensation, satisfaction, and willingness to undergo repeat bronchoscopy.

활성 비교기: Multi-patient CT-derived digital twin anatomical variability training
Participants assigned to this intervention receive bronchoscopy simulation training using multiple patient-specific CT-derived digital twin airway models representing diverse bronchial anatomical patterns and variations.
The training is designed to expose novice bronchoscopists to realistic inter-patient anatomical variability, with standardized instructor feedback, repeated navigation practice, and progressive procedural tasks aimed at improving adaptability, airway recognition, navigation efficiency, and early clinical bronchoscopy performance.

위약 비교기: Anatomically uniform standard-model bronchoscopy simulation training.
Participants assigned to the control intervention receive bronchoscopy simulation training using a conventional anatomically uniform standard airway model without substantial anatomical variation between cases.
Training duration, instructor supervision, and procedural objectives are standardized to match the intervention group, focusing on basic bronchoscopy handling, airway navigation, and procedural technique within a fixed and repetitive anatomical environment.

Early clinical bronchoscopy performance measured by Ontario Bronchoscopy Assessment Tool (OBAT) technical-diagnostic subscore
기간: From the first eligible supervised clinical bronchoscopy through the 30th eligible supervised clinical bronchoscopy, up to 12 weeks after randomization.
|
The primary outcome is the normalized partial area under the clinical learning curve across each trainee's first 30 consecutive eligible supervised diagnostic flexible bronchoscopies.
The outcome is based on the Ontario Bronchoscopy Assessment Tool (OBAT) technical-diagnostic subscore, comprising items 3-10 and ranging from 8 to 40 points.
The normalized partial area under the curve represents the time-averaged performance across procedures 1-30; higher values indicate better early clinical performance.

Technical performance during a standardized transfer assessment on an unfamiliar CT-derived simulated airway model will be independently scored by blinded assessors using the Bronchoscopy Global Rating Scale (BGRS), Bronchoscopy Stepwise Evaluation Tool (BSET), and the abbreviated Bronchoscopy Skills and Tasks Assessment Tool (BSTAT). The BGRS ranges from 0 to 39 points and assesses segmental-anatomy identification, bronchoscope manipulation, task performance, and posture/hand position. The BSET ranges from 0 to 100 points and comprises the 39-point BGRS and the 61-point Bronchoscopy Exercises Rating Scale; it assesses global bronchoscopy performance and completion of progressively more difficult airway-navigation exercises. The abbreviated BSTAT ranges from 0 to 24 points and assesses technical bronchoscopy skills during the standardized simulation assessment. For all three instruments, higher scores indicate better technical performance. BGRS, BSET, and abbreviated BSTAT scores wi |
