Filter by:As an invasive operation, gastroscopy will cause children's nervousness, anxiety and uncooperative behavior, and even lead to the risk of bleeding and perforation, which will also affect the accuracy of the examination results.The purpose of this study is to explore the influence of different doses of esketamine on the induced dose ED95 of remazolam during gastroscopic placement in children, and to provide theoretical basis for the combined use of remimazolam besylate and esketamine in gastroscopic anesthesia in children.
Barrett's oesophagus is a pre-cancerous condition in which normal cells in the lining of gullet undergo cell changes and this increases the risk of developing adenocarcinoma (a type of cancer) of the gullet. This type of cancer is the 5th most common type of cancer in the UK. To minimise this risk of developing cancer, patients with Barret's oesophagus have regular gastroscopy (a small camera at the tip of the slim tube) every 2-5 years to detect early cancer cell changes. During the procedure, the whole of oesophagus is carefully inspected, and small tissue samples (biopsies) are taken from visible abnormal area within Barrett's oesophagus and sent to the lab to check for cell changes. This is called targeted biopsies. As the endoscopist cannot always tell during gastroscopy where cells are changing, biopsies from each quarter of the gullet (called quadrantic biopsies) are also taken to reduce the risk of pre-cancerous cells being missed. However, this process is time consuming and expensive as numerous biopsies are required. Recently, there has been a huge development in artificial intelligence (AI). One of these developments is the aid of computer to detect (called computer-aided detection - CAD) the abnormal cell changes within Barrett's during gastroscopy. This system has recently been trained and tested on videos and photos to prove that its performance is as good as expert endoscopists. This system has been already approved to use in the UK. However, this system needs to be tested further and incorporated into real life use to prove that the CAD is useful in detecting cell changes during gastroscopy for targeted biopsies and therefore, the random biopsies can be avoided. A sample of patients with Barrett's oesophagus will be invited to participate in this study. Participants will have a gastroscopy as part of their usual care for Barrett's oesophagus. Endoscopist will inspect Barrett's oesophagus using AI and will take both targeted biopsies if clinically deemed appropriate along with quadrantic biopsies. Participants will continue to receive usual care and no additional follow up or procedures will be required as part of the study.
Patients who meet the enrollment criteria were randomized 1:1 to either the BIS group or the OAA/S group. In the BIS group, the anesthesiologist set the target controlled infusion（TCI）parameters according to the patient's height, weight, gender and age. The initial plasma target concentration was set to 1.5 ug/ml, and the target concentration would be increased or decreased 0.5 ug/ml every two minutes to maintain the BIS value at 45-60. In the OAA/S group, the target concentration would be increased or decreased 0.5 ug/ml every two minutes to maintain the OAA/S value at 1 point.
During gastroscopy, the insertion of the fiberscope and gastric distension required to perform the examination may induce modifications to respiratory mechanics, respiratory effort and breathing pattern. High-flow nasal cannula (HFNC) therapy is a mixed air-oxygen supply system able to deliver heated humidified gas up to 60 L/min of flow rate, with an inspiratory oxygen fraction (FiO2) ranging from 21% to 100%. Increasing evidence supports the use of HFNC in several clinical conditions and settings. When compared to standard therapy (ST), HFNC results in enhanced gas exchange and improved comfort. No studies have yet assessed the benefits of HFNC versus ST during and after gastroscopy. We designed this unblinded randomized controlled trial to assess whether HFNC, compared to ST, improves oxygenation at the end of the procedure (primary endpoint). Additional endpoints were: 1) the lowest peripheral saturation of oxygen (SpO2) and the number of oxygen desaturations; 2) the changes of end-expiratory lung impedance and tidal impedance assessed by Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT); 3) the effects on diaphragm function assessed by ultrasound (DUS).
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.
This double-center, prospective, interventional study aims to include 200 gastroscopic procedures and investigate the relationship between fasting time and feeling of subjects. The subjects will all receive examination between 10:30 to 11:30am. In the control group, the subjects are required to start the fast at 10:00pm the day before examination and can not drink water after 8:00am on the day of examination. In the test group, the subjects are required to have customized rice congee before 6:30am on the examination day and can not drink water after 8:00am. All subjects complete questionnaire which include discomfort and willingness to accept the same fasting regimen.
The aim of the study is retrospectively evaluating all features of endoscopic and pathological diagnoses of cases who underwent upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopy.
In this study, we proposed a prospective study about the effectiveness of artificial intelligence system for gastroscope training in novice endoscopists. The subjects would be divided into two groups. The experimental group would be trained in painless gastroscopy with the assistance of the artificial intelligence assistant system. The artificial intelligence assistant system can prompt abnormal lesions and the parts covered by the examination (the stomach is divided into 26 parts). The control group would receive routine painless gastroscopy training without special prompts. Then we compare the gastroscopy operation score, coverage rate of blind spots in gastroscopy,check the average test score before and after training, training satisfaction, detection rate of lesions and so on between the two group.
The study was designed to evaluate the effectiveness of the maximum dose of mucolytic solution used before upper endoscopy on the visibility of the gastric mucosa
Anastomotic leak after radical gastrectomy is a serious complication. Intraoperative leak testing was often used to assess the integrity of the anastomosis. However, the reliability, clinical benefits and safety of intraoperative leak testing are controversial. Our aim is to evaluate the effect and safety of intraoperative leak testing, and to compare the surgical complications of patients in intraoperative leak testing group with patients in non-intraoperative leak testing group.
