A systematic review and cost effectiveness analysis of reusable vs. single-use flexible bronchoscopes [PDF]

Anaesthesia, 2020
The cost effectiveness of reusable vs. single‐use flexible bronchoscopy in the peri‐operative setting has yet to be determined. We therefore aimed to determine this and hypothesised that single‐use flexible bronchoscopes are cost effective compared with ...
