The Bronchoscopy for Intensive Care Course is a multidisciplinary one-day hands-on training bronchoscopy course for those involved in acute care (anaesthetics, intensive care, emergency medicine and acute medicine), designed to improve practice using it for ICU and acute care indications, including airway management, airway haemorrhage, percutaneous tracheostomy and the non intubated patient. 

There is a large emphasis on simulated scenarios, patient safety and team working. The BrIC Course is predominantly workshop based, with hands-on practice, bronchoscopy simulator time for dedicated competency acquisition and team based scenarios. There is highly experienced international faculty and opportunity to test established and new devices. 

• Basic bronchial anatomy

• How to set-up Videobronchoscopy and portable devices for emergency situations

• Understand the indications and contraindications for bronchoscopy in the ICU

• Handling, effective navigation and directed sampling/airway clearance through simulation

• Be able to manipulate the bronchoscope for real-time visualisation of the correct placement of a tracheostomy, withdrawal of an endotracheal tube and safe needle insertion

• Have a basic understanding of the management of airway haemorrhage, inhalational injury

• Enhanced Team working in complex bronchoscopy situations

• Anyone who may perform bronchoscopy in the acute care setting

• No prior experience is needed

Normally, yes. We have been able to sign off a number of different training outcomes across different stages of medical training. However, please do contact the course organisers prior to starting the course to confirm this will be suitable for your needs.

The course can also be mapped to a number of domains across anaesthetic and ICU training.
