Successful bronchoscope handling requires the skill to orient bronchoscope position and direction in response to the intraluminal view provided by the bronchoscope camera. Additional challenges for pediatric physicians are smaller airways and the physiologically higher breathing frequency and airway collapsibility in babies and toddlers. We aimed to create a set of anatomically accurate 3D printed pediatric static and dynamic airway models that can be further used to teach and train residents/fellows in bronchoscopy and foreign body removal.

Lymphoma is the most common mediastinal mass in children. Obtaining tissue for diagnosis can be challenging due to reported low diagnostic yield and risk of cardiorespiratory collapse, especially in the setting of anesthesia. We report our experience with biopsy of mediastinal masses, report the diagnostic rate for lymphoma and biopsy/anesthetic complications related to the procedure. Read More
