Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

An Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is a diagnostic procedure in which an endoscopist uses a flexible, lighted endoscope to visualize the upper gastrointestinal (GI) tract. The procedure includes visualizing the oropharynx, esophagus, stomach, and the first part of the small intestine, the duodenum.
During an EGD, the endoscope can be used to:

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

Enteral Nutrition I: Orogastric and Nasogastric Feeding

Enteral nutrition delivers nutrients directly to the stomach or small intestine through a tube. This method is appropriate for patients who cannot eat but still have a functioning digestive system. It is also beneficial for individuals with swallowing difficulties, anorexia, malabsorption, or those who have undergone gastrointestinal (GI) surgery.
Orogastric (OG) and nasogastric (NG) feeding are two standard methods used for enteral nutrition. Enteral nutrition is often preferred over...

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

Enteral Nutrition II: Nasointestinal and Gastrostomy Feeding

Enteral nutrition encompasses various methods of delivering nutrition directly to the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, bypassing traditional oral intake. It is particularly beneficial for patients who cannot eat by mouth but have a functioning digestive system. Key methods include nasointestinal feeding, gastrostomy, and jejunostomy, each suited to different clinical scenarios based on the patient's needs and condition.
Nasointestinal Feeding
Nasointestinal feeding involves placing a tube through...

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

Capsule endoscopy, or wireless or video capsule endoscopy, is a diagnostic procedure for examining the entire gastrointestinal tract. Patients swallow a capsule about the size of a vitamin tablet. The capsule is equipped with a transmitter, a battery, an LED light source, and a color video camera to capture images throughout the gastrointestinal tract. This procedure is particularly useful for diagnosing conditions such as Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, tumors, polyps, ulcers, unexplained...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) is a diagnostic procedure that combines endoscopy and fluoroscopy to diagnose and treat conditions related to the bile ducts, pancreatic ducts, and gallbladder. This procedure is beneficial for identifying and addressing blockages, gallstones, strictures, and tumors within the biliary or pancreatic systems. ERCP is both diagnostic and therapeutic, offering the ability to visualize and treat identified problems in one session.

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

The colon, or large intestine, is the final segment of the digestive system. Its primary functions include absorbing water and vitamins produced by gut bacteria and transforming waste from liquid to solid to form stool. In adults, the large intestine is approximately 5 feet long and consists of four main sections:

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Interventional Radiology

Context:

Percutaneous gastrostomy (PG) is a common procedure for enteral feeding.
Traditional PG often involves a two-step approach.
Evaluating novel, single-step techniques is crucial for improving patient care and resource management.

Purpose:

To assess the feasibility and outcomes of fluoroscopic-guided primary one-step percutaneous gastrostomy (PG) using the Freka® Gastro Tube system.
To compare the complication rates and costs of this single-step method against established two-step procedures.

Summary:

A study involving 39 patients demonstrated the technical success of fluoroscopic-guided primary one-step PG.
The majority of patients (74.4%) experienced no complications, with a mean follow-up of 155.3 days.
Complications, primarily tube dislocation, occurred in 25.6% of patients, with no clinically relevant wound infections reported.

Impact:

The single-step fluoroscopic-guided PG is a viable alternative to the two-step approach, with comparable complication rates.
This method significantly reduces material costs and conserves human and time resources.
Implementing this technique can lead to more efficient and cost-effective patient management in clinical settings.
