Endoscopic Procedures I: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy

74
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 III: Video Capsule Endoscopy

90
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,...

Endoscopic Procedures IV: Sigmoidoscopy and Laproscopy

58
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.

Endoscopic Procedures II: Colonoscopy

62
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:

  • Medical Education
  • Ophthalmology
  • Simulation-Based Learning

Background:

  • Standardized patients (SPs) are crucial for teaching physical examination skills.
  • Few medical schools use SPs for fundoscopy training.
  • Limited guidance exists on preparing SPs for fundoscopy exams.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore SPs' attitudes, experiences, and comfort levels teaching the fundoscopic exam.
  • To assess SP preparedness and satisfaction with training for fundoscopy.

Main Methods:

  • Surveyed 26 SPs from two medical institutions before and after fundoscopy training.
  • Assessed comfort with fundoscopic exam and pupil dilation.
  • Collected data on SP experience and satisfaction with training.

Main Results:

  • 80% satisfaction with dilation information; 90% satisfied with learner guidance.
  • Average comfort level 3.76/5.
  • 90% willing to participate in future sessions, including those with dilation.

Conclusions:

  • SPs can be successfully oriented for fundoscopy training.
  • Proper preparation enhances SP comfort and willingness to participate.
  • SPs express concerns regarding dilation duration and light exposure.
