Filter by:Several infectious outbreaks have been described in the literature as a result of contaminated endoscopes. These endoscopes cannot be sterilized and require an extensive cleaning process in which breaches of cleaning protocols, endoscope damage or the formation of biofilm can prevent proper disinfection. The risk of endoscopy associated infection (EAI) and colonization due to contaminated endoscopes is still considered to be low. However, it is likely that there is severe underreporting of outbreaks due to a lack of recognition or assuming an infection to be endogenous. Due to the sheer volume of upper-gastrointestinal endoscopy worldwide, even with a low risk of EAI, the number of affected patients is significant. In response, several manufacturers have turned to the production of single-use endoscopes that eliminate the risk of exogenous infections. There are single use duodenoscopes on the market that almost seem to match the performance of reusable duodenoscopes. A new single use sterile gastroscope, Ambu aScope gastro, has been developed whose performance has not been previously described in patients. This multicenter single arm consecutive case series study will test the performance of these single use gastroscopes in patients undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
The purpose of our study was to assess the performance of esophagogastroduodenoscopy automatic quality-control system in real-time quality control of EGD.
This project is a single-blinded randomized controlled trial investigating the effect of simulation-based teaching in learning gastroscopy for medical doctors.
The aim of our study was to develop an automatic quality-control system and assess the performance of this system in quality control of esophagogastroduodenoscopy.
Prospective, multi-site registry with longitudinal follow up for patients undergoing EGD or endoscopy. The primary objective is to provide a collection of patient NvisionVLE™ procedural data for participating physicians, including, but not limited to, imaging data, clinical utility data, demographics, pathology, treatment, and surveillance.
Upper endoscopy is uncomfortable for most patients. Meperidine has both sedative and analgesic effects, so its use may be helpful for patients receiving upper endoscopy.
The purpose of this study is to determine the efficacy of application of the anaesthesia topical pharyngeal with lidocaine in esophagogastroduodenoscopy under propofol´s sedation, in therms of dosage and side effect´s reduction overall.
