Issue: As currently the awareness that has been arising on the approach of in-house endoscope repairing, I have conducted a series analysis based on varies aspects of the existing and potential issues, the problem statement is presented below:
12). ACG reports that, “once swallowed, the capsule begins transmitting images of the inside of the esophagus, stomach and small bowel to a receiver worn by the patient. The capsule takes two pictures per second, for a total of approximately 55,000 images” (para. 12). After the specified time frame, the patient returns to the office for removal of the data recorder. The capsule should normally pass through the colon and be eliminated with a normal bowel movement. With traditional endoscopy, a physician is required to perform and interpret the examination. However, capsule endoscopy can be administered by any trained staff, downloaded and then read and analyzed by the physician. According to the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy:
The cost of Medical equipment plays a significant role in the delivery of health care. The clinical engineering at Victoria Hospital is an important branch of the hospital team management that are working to strategies ways to improve quality of service and lower cost repairs of equipments. The team members from Biomedical and maintenance engineering’s roles are to ensure utilization of quality equipments such as endoscope and minimize length of repair time. All these issues are a major influence in the hospital’s project cost. For example, Victory hospital, which is located in Canada, is in the process of evaluating different options to decrease cost of its endoscope repair. This equipment is use in the endoscopy department for
In the past 10 years, Dr Teo has studied neuro-endoscopy in the United States. Where he enjoyed studying minimally invasive
The endoscope is inserted through an cut in the skin near a joint that is being examined. This can be used to look at the joint and preform operations such as removing torn tissues. Arthroscopy is where the endoscope is put in through a cut in the skin near a joint. This can be used to look at the joint and carry out operations like removing damaged tissue. In Bronchoscopy the endoscope is inserted through the bronchial tubes in the lungs to remove any objects blocking the air passage or investigate infection. Endoscope Biopsy is where the endoscope is inserted through an opening or cut in the body so that it can easily access the area that is having the problem. Then forceps are used to take a sample of tissue that can be examined by a doctor.
Our primary outcome measure was the percentage of patients with complete resolution of symptoms in the 2 groups. Secondary outcome measures were the number of dilatation sessions needed for easy passage of 40 F dilator and the costs of sessions were calculated within the treatment period in both groups in patients who showed symptomatic and endoscopic
Also the removal of faulty equipment. The second section of the guidelines pertains to maintaining the instruments. The third section of the guidelines includes recommendation for the cleaning and sanitization of the GI endoscopic equipment. The facility must adhere to the establishments policy on proper handling of soiled equipment. Facilities must not exceed seven days prior to reprocessing equipment. Sufficient ventilation is mandatory when using glutaraldehyde in order to provide high level sterilization. The fourth section of the guidelines recommendation refers to the layout of the unit. Creating a safe area for patients and maintaining the safety of the staff during a procedure. Also keeping the disinfected areas away from clean areas. The fifth section refers to quality management and ensuring that all personnel adhere to the facilities policy of GI endoscopy unit. The sixth section has recommendations in case there is a dereliction of protocol in sterilization of equipment. If there is, then it must reviewed and determined if the patient who had a procedure prior to this incident should be informed. The last section of the guidelines list recommendations in the treatment of patients with variant Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (vCJD). After performing a GI endoscopy procedure on a patient suspected of having vCJD the instrument should be isolated and if
The principles and philosophies of endoscopic approach should be followed to achieve meticulous resection and ensure superior outcomes.
Moreover, as a pediatric endoscopist, Dr. Lakhole performs a wide range of specialized procedures including upper endoscopies, colonoscopies, sigmoidoscopies, foreign body removal, esophageal dilations, control of bleeding, and gastrostomy tube placement.
The patient is placed on the operating table in the supine position. The operating table is placed in a reverse Trendelenburg position. Excellent exposure of the esophageal hiatus is paramount in performing an open procedure. This can be achieved by utilizing an upper hand retractor fit with two blades for the right and left costal margins. Extra-long surgical instruments are usually needed for the operative procedure, especially when operating on men and obese patients.
* Most commonly used for access to the right colon, duodenum, access to the pancreas where the incision is carried across the midline
There are certain componenets that are essential to be examined these include; inspection of shape, skin and umbilicus, palpation to check for any tenderness, rigidity or masses, Auscultation to assess the bowel sounds and bruits and percussion.
The endoscope is advanced through the mouth and into the small bowel to view the common opening to the ducts from the liver and pancreas. A contrast material is injected into the ducts so they can be seen on X-rays. Additional instruments are used to remove stones and or other
