This study shows that the technical skill of rigid bronchoscopy can be acquired within 10 repetitions in a manikin model. As procedural competence and complication frequency vary with the laryngoscopic grade of the model, both easy and difficult configurations should be used for training. Advanced laryngoscopic skills are not required prior to training in this technique.
