Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

618
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:

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

373
Sigmoidoscopy and laparoscopy are distinct medical procedures that enable physicians to internally inspect different parts of the GI tract. Although they serve different purposes, each is essential for diagnosing and, in some cases, treating various medical conditions.
Sigmoidoscopy
Sigmoidoscopy is a diagnostic procedure that uses a flexible sigmoidoscope equipped with a light source and camera to examine the rectum and sigmoid colon. The procedure involves inserting the tube through the anus...

Endoscopic Procedures V: ERCP

1.9K
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 Studies II: Thoracocentesis

1.0K
Thoracentesis(Thoracocentesis), commonly known as pleural tap, is a medical procedure where a 22 gauge needle is inserted into the pleural space, the area between the lung and chest wall. This procedure is commonly performed to diagnose or treat various respiratory disorders.
Description
Excess pleural fluid or air may accumulate in some respiratory disorders in the thoracic cavity. To treat pleural effusion, a physician conducts thoracentesis by carefully piercing the chest wall and entering...

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
  • Medical Informatics
  • Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Current endoscopy documentation systems often miss post-procedural complications.
  • There is a need for efficient methods to monitor complications after gastrointestinal endoscopy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate a documentation system-based filter for identifying post-endoscopy complications.
  • To assess the sensitivity and workload reduction of this filter in inpatient procedures.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of inpatient endoscopic resections and ERCP procedures.
  • Development and assessment of IT-based filters to detect specific post-procedural events and data.
  • Comparison of filter performance against a gold standard of detailed case file analysis.

Main Results:

  • The filters achieved 100% sensitivity in identifying complications for both endoscopic resections and ERCP.
  • The system reduced quality management workload by 14% for resections and 31% for ERCP.
  • Post-endoscopy complications occurred in 7.14% of resections and 3.7% of ERCP cases.

Conclusions:

  • IT-based documentation filters offer a highly sensitive method for monitoring inpatient endoscopy complications.
  • These filters substantially decrease the workload associated with complication screening.
  • Separate monitoring systems are needed for outpatient endoscopy complications post-discharge.
