Objective To provide an overview of current literature that informs how to approach simulation practice of bronchoscopy and discuss how findings from other simulation research can help inform the use of simulation in bronchoscopy training. Summary We conducted a literature search on simulation training of bronchoscopy and divided relevant studies in three categories: 1) structuring simulation...

-UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) has been widely used in both military and civilian fields in recent years. With the development of UAV, high quality training for the UAV operators on the ground is necessary and urgent, the fidelity of simulation training system is very important, the fidelity training system can simulate the flying environment on the sky, the flying simulation software is the co...

Flexible bronchoscopy is a common procedure. Training in bronchoscopy is a complex process involving learning technical skills, understanding indications and contraindications, risks and benefits of the procedure, working within the team and communicating with patients. It is expected that a competent bronchoscopist is able to maneuver the scope through the anatomically complex bronchial tree, ...

The advancement of high technologies and the arrival of the information age have caused changes to the modern warfare. The military forces of many countries have replaced partially real training drills with training simulation systems to achieve combat readiness. However, considerable types of training simulation systems are used in military settings. In addition, differences in system set up t...

The aim of this study was to create simulation-based tests with credible pass/fail standards for 2 different fidelities of colonoscopy

This paper shows a distributed simulation framework for tactical training in Networked Virtual Environment (NVE). These days the NVE technology for an operational tactical training system plays a significant role in military training courses. The existing military training simulation systems are mostly full simulated systems operating on single platform. They are to train individual’s operation...
