Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

38
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:

Summary

Video discharge instructions significantly improved patient comprehension after vasectomy. While satisfaction was similar, more patients preferred combined video and written formats for better understanding of post-procedure care.

Area of Science:

  • Urology
  • Health Literacy
  • Medical Education

Background:

  • Health literacy is crucial for healthcare outcomes, impacting quality of life and mortality.
  • Poor health literacy leads to increased hospital readmissions.
  • Current post-procedure education methods include teach-back, patient preference assessments, and standardized instructions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate patient comprehension and satisfaction with video discharge instructions after outpatient vasectomy.
  • To address the gap in utilizing video discharge instructions in urology.

Main Methods:

  • An unblinded randomized controlled study was conducted with 22 men undergoing vasectomy.
  • Patients were randomized to receive either video or written discharge instructions.
  • A questionnaire assessed comprehension, preference, usefulness, and understandability of instructions.

Main Results:

  • The video cohort showed significantly higher comprehension scores (P<0.001).
  • No significant differences were found in perceived helpfulness or understandability between groups.
  • 73% of the video group preferred combined video and written instructions, versus 73% of the written group preferring only written instructions (P<0.001).

Conclusions:

  • Video discharge instructions enhance objective comprehension in urology patients.
  • Combined video and written instructions may be preferred by patients receiving video education.
  • Video discharge instructions are a valuable tool in urologic care settings.
