    AbstractBuilding an efficient facility for advanced bronchoscopic procedures involves many considerations. This review places particular emphasis on anesthesiology services, based on experience at a tertiary/quaternary care referral academic medical center. Topics include equipment requirements, applicable clinical standards, and multidisciplinary collaboration. Patient flow arrangements for both outpatients and inpatients, from preoperative care to discharge/disposition, are highlighted. The importance of effective business planning, personnel training, leadership, communication, team building, quality of care, and patient safety are also discussed.Copyright © 2021 American College of Chest Physicians.
