What is EBUS?
Endobronchial ultrasound (EBUS) is a minimally invasive procedure used to visualize and sample tissues in the lungs.
Why is simulation-based training important?
It allows healthcare professionals to practice procedures in a controlled environment before performing them on patients.
What are the six anatomical landmarks?
These landmarks guide the EBUS procedure and are essential for accurate sampling and diagnosis.
How does EBUS compare to EUS-B?
Combining EBUS with EUS-B enhances the diagnostic capabilities compared to using EBUS alone.
What challenges do professionals face in training?
Many lack access to simulation facilities and may not prioritize training, hindering skill development.
What is the goal of this study?
To promote structured training for EBUS procedures and improve access to simulation-based education.
