Bronchoscopy simulator and control method for same

A bronchoscopy simulator comprising:

• a main body part formed to be similar to a bronchial tree of a human body;
• and
• a bleeding producing part provided on the main body part and configured to reproduce a bleeding condition inside the main body part,
• wherein the bleeding producing part comprises:
• an actuator configured to transport artificial blood into the main body part;
• at least one valve configured to regulate a bleeding pressure of the artificial blood so as to reproduce a bleeding situation;
• a pressure sensor configured to sense the bleeding pressure in the main body part;
• and
• a controller configured to initiate reproduction of the bleeding condition after a bronchoscope is inserted into the main body part to assist a user in practicing responses to bleeding situations occurring during a bronchoscopy procedure,
• wherein the controller is further configured to close the at least one valve when the bleeding pressure sensed in the main body part becomes equal to or lower than a reference pressure in response to a hemostasis operation applied to the main body part.
