Procedural times with robotic-assisted bronchoscopy: a high volume single-center study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Incidental and screen-detected pulmonary nodules are common. The increasing capabilities of advanced diagnostic bronchoscopy will increase bronchoscopists' procedural volume necessitating optimization of procedural scheduling and workflow.

Objectives

The objectives of this study were to determine total time in the procedure room, total bronchoscopy procedure time, and robotic-assisted bronchoscopy procedure time longitudinally and per specific procedure performed.

Design

A single-center observational study of all consecutive patients undergoing shape-sensing robotic-assisted bronchoscopy (RAB) biopsy procedures for the evaluation of pulmonary lesions with variable probability for malignancy.

Methods

Chart review to collect patient demographics, lesio
