I had a week in the bronchoscopy suite which also included being a float when not having a bronch to be part of. The Doctors performing the bronchs were nice and relaxed and provided a good environment for learning. One of the Dr's actually allowed me to take control of the bronch and move it around in the patients airway. It's interesting to see the lungs from inside a patient and how to prep a patient for a bronch. We took tissue samples, washes, brushes all to see if the patients had carcinoma or TB/ etc. I also had exposure to the wards where there are trach changes to be done andthe charting is different than in the ICU. There were a few codes called this week. Overall it was a good experience and I learned a lot.
