Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy01:29

Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

951
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

577
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 II: Colonoscopy

633
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:

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy01:30

Endoscopic Studies I: Bronchoscopy and Thoracoscopy

541
Endoscopy is a non-surgical medical technique used to examine a person's internal organs and vessels. This lesson will focus on two types of endoscopic studies: bronchoscopy and thoracoscopy.
Bronchoscopy
Description
Bronchoscopy is a procedure that involves direct visualization of the larynx, trachea, and bronchi for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. A flexible fiber optic or rigid bronchoscope is used to carry out the procedure. The fiber-optic bronchoscope is more frequently used due...

Stages of General Anesthesia

1.5K
Various sedation levels offer significant advantages in facilitating procedural interventions for patients undergoing medical or invasive surgical procedures. These levels span from anxiolysis to general anesthesia, providing a spectrum of sedative effects to cater to specific patient needs. Anxiolysis reduces anxiety and is achieved through minimal sedation, enabling patients to remain awake and responsive while feeling more at ease during the procedure. This level can benefit minor...

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis01:26

Endoscopic Studies II: Thoracocentesis

1.3K
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...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Patients undergoing procedural sedation for endoscopy lose significant body heat, with many becoming hypothermic. This heat loss is comparable to anesthesia, highlighting the need for active warming and monitoring.

Area of Science:

  • Medical research
  • Anesthesiology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • Heat loss during procedural sedation is not well understood.
  • Procedural sedation is commonly used for endoscopic procedures.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the pattern and characteristics of heat loss in patients undergoing procedural sedation.
  • To quantify temperature changes during procedural sedation for endoscopy.

Main Methods:

  • A descriptive study involving continuous temperature monitoring using a zero-heat-flux device.
  • Prospective data collection on temperature, demographics, clinical data, shivering, and thermal comfort.
  • Linear mixed-model analysis to assess body temperature changes over time.

Main Results:

  • Mean body temperature dropped below 36°C by 45 minutes post-induction.
  • Body temperature decreased by an average of 0.19°C every 15 minutes of sedation.
  • Hypothermia increased from 30% on arrival to first-stage recovery to 42% by second-stage recovery.

Conclusions:

  • Heat loss during procedural sedation for endoscopy is significant and comparable to early general or neuraxial anesthesia.
  • Active warming and continuous temperature monitoring are not routinely implemented for these patients.
  • Further research and clinical implementation of warming strategies are warranted.
