Ambient air pollution in gastrointestinal endoscopy unit; rationale and design of a prospective study

There has been scarce data on air quality in the endoscopy unit. We will check the 6 main indoor air quality indices, as well as atmospheric temperature, pressure, and humidity.

Evaluation of pain and patient satisfaction by music therapy in patients with endoscopy/colonoscopy

Music therapy is a common and non-pharmacological treatment for various medical conditions, pain, and anxiety. The effect of music treatment on drug consumption, anxiety, and pain was investigated. Music therapy added to deep sedation provided decreased anxiety score and propofol consumption.

Virtual reality simulation training for health professions trainees in gastrointestinal endoscopy

Simulation training can provide trainees with the chance to practice their skills in a learner-centred, risk-free environment. It is important to ensure that skills gained through simulation positively transfer to the clinical environment

The Comparison of Midazolam and Propofol in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

Midazolam and propofol are both used for sedation in gastrointestinal endoscopy. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the efficacy and safety of the two drugs.

Impact of cap-assisted colonoscopy on the learning curve and quality in colonoscopy: a randomized controlled trial

CAC results in a significantly higher cecal intubation rate, at 11.6 minutes vs. 12.7 minutes. CAC resulted in significant improvement in overall ACE tool scores and cognitive scores

The impact of wire caliber on ERCP outcomes: a multicenter randomized controlled trial of 0.025-inch and 0.035-inch guidewires

Wire-guided biliary cannulation has been demonstrated to improve cannulation rates and reduce post-ERCP pancreatitis (PEP) This study compares successful cannulation. rates and ERCP adverse events by using a 0.025-inch and 0.035-inch guidewire. The primary outcomes of the study were successful wire-guided cannulation and the incidence of PEP.

Progressive learning in endoscopy simulation training improves clinical performance: a blinded randomized trial

A progressive learning-based curriculum (PLC) led to superior clinical performance compared with an SCC. PLC comprised 6 hours of SBT, which progressed in complexity and difficulty.

No Superiority of Stents vs Balloon Dilatation for Dominant Strictures in Patients With Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis

Dominant strictures occur in approximately 50% of patients with primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC) Short-term stents have been reported to produce a longer resolution of dominant strictures than single-balloon dilatation.
