2022 Current Paradigms in Interventional Pulmonology: Endobronchial Ultrasound and Advanced Bronchoscopy in Era of Robotics: A Team Approach

Friday, September 9, 2022, 8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Zuckerman Research Center, 417 East 68th Street

Endobronchial ultrasound has quickly become the standard of care in the diagnosis and staging of thoracic malignancy as well as benign diseases. Now with the introduction of robotic bronchoscopy, there has been another major advancement in the role of bronchoscopy for accessing peripheral pulmonary lesions. Optimally performing these procedures, in appropriate patients, is paramount, and requires proper training of the entire team involved.

This year, we're adding a special session on bronchoscopic lung ablation and cryobiopsy via EBUS and robotic assisted bronchoscopy. Also, an emphasis on teamwork will be made, as well as collaboration during hands-on sessions. Additionally, we are pleased to offer a team discount for 1 physician and 1 RN/PA/NP/RT from the same organization (see details below under registration).  This well-received annual CME course reviews these crucial advanced diagnostic and staging procedures, how to optimize performance in a multidisciplinary team-oriented fashion, and provides hands-on workshops with expert faculty.

2022 Lectures Topics

• Bronchoscopic Lung Ablation
• EBUS TBNA
• Cryobiopsy Part 1: EBUS Intranodal Cryobiopsy
• Cryobiopsy Part 2: Transbronchial Lung Cryobiopsy
• Robotic Assisted Bronchoscopy (2 part series in depth lecture)
• Imaging Modalities in Robotic Bronchoscopy
• Thoracic Surgeon’s Perspective
• Emergency Management During Bronchoscopy
• Cytology and Molecular Analysis
• Nursing Perspective
• Teamwork in the Bronchoscopy Suite
• Pre-procedure Nursing Education

Hands-On Workshops (optional)

The workshops will be limited to 30 participants to allow for maximum interaction with course faculty and ample hands-on experience. After the 30 hands-on slots are filled, participants may register for the lecture-only portion. Additional fees do apply for the in-person workshop, please see registration for details. Workshop topics include:

• Robotic Assisted Bronchoscopy
• EBUS TBNA
• Peripheral EBUS
• Cryobiopsy (lung and lymph nodes)
• Cytology
• Team Workshop

This educational activity is endorsed by the American Association for Bronchology and Interventional Pulmonology (AABIP).

Who Should Attend

This course is intended for practicing Pulmonologists, Intensivists, and Thoracic Surgeons, as well as trainees, RNs, APPs, RTs, and cytotechnologists, interested in advancing their understanding of advanced bronchoscopy for diagnostics, including robotic assisted bronchoscopy, radial endobronchial ultrasound, and other navigational bronchoscopy, and cytologic specimen processing.

We are pleased to offer a special team rate available for one physician and one RN/PA/NP/RT from the same organization to attend this course (see details below under registration).

In-person or Virtual

We invite attendees to join us in-person at Zuckerman Research Center in New York City for this conference. We are also pleased to offer a virtual option (via Zoom) for the lectures only for attendees unable to join us in-person. Please note that the program will begin promptly at 8:00 am. Breakfast for in-person attendees will begin at 7:00 am and virtual check-in will be at 7:45 am.
