In this issue an impressive group of contributors at the forefront of sedation research has been assembled to provide endoscopists and dedicated nursing personnel alike a comprehensive review of important topics in the field sedation and analgesia. A discussion on the pharmacology and agents used to provide moderate and deep sedation provides the basic framework that is a crucial element in determining the driving force behind the developments in sedation and analgesia. An evidence-based approach on the use of unsedated endoscopy is also provided. Other topics included the use of propofol, patient-controlled sedation and analgesia, extended physiologic monitoring, risk management, and quality assurance as they apply to the spectrum of sedation in the endoscopy suite. Sedation and analgesia in the pediatric patient is also addressed.
Sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy is routinely employed to relieve patients' anxiety and fear of the examination. In recent years, propofol has become a suitable alternative to the previously widely used benzodiazepine. However, as sedation is estimated to be responsible for about 50% of all gastrointestinal endoscopy complications, proper training how to administer sedation and monitor sedated patients is important. This publication contains a selection of short expert reviews presented at an international meeting held in Athens in September 2009, funded by OMED, the Hellenic Society of Gastroenterology, the ESGE and UEGF, and endorsed by the ASGE. An international faculty discussed recent advances in the field, focusing on indications as well the nature and safety of sedatives and analgesics, their administration, the required monitoring and issues related to training in their use. Furthermore, medico-legal issues related to the use of propofol by gastroenterologists were discussed. Containing up-to-date information on sedation for gastrointestinal endoscopy, the publication at hand is a most useful tool for the clinician working in the field.
It's been 4 years since an issue was last devoted to endoscopic sedation, and this issue presents what has been learned and improved upon in that time. An impressive group of contributors at the forefront of sedation research has been assembled to provide endoscopists and dedicated nursing personnel alike a comprehensive review of important topics in the field sedation and analgesia. A discussion on the pharmacology and agents used to provide moderate and deep sedation provides the basic framework that is a crucial element in determining the driving force behind the developments in sedation and analgesia. Other topics included the use of propofol, patient-controlled sedation and analgesia, extended physiologic monitoring, risk management, and quality assurance as they apply to the spectrum of sedation in the endoscopy suite. Sedation and analgesia in the pediatric patient is also addressed.
Gastrointestinal endoscopy is the principal tool for the investigation and treatment of most diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. The Atlas of Clinical Gastrointestinal Endoscopy offers a comprehensive overview of the role of gastrointestinal endoscopy in diagnosis. The atlas contains an abundance of high-quality images of a wide range of diseases of the upper and lower gastrointestinal tract, accompanied by precise clinical descriptions. Normal findings and variants are also documented. Furthermore, many images obtained by means of advanced image-enhanced endoscopy, capsule endoscopy, device-assisted enteroscopy, and endoscopic ultrasound are included. This book will be an ideal reference for both specialists and trainees in gastroenterology. It will provide the reader with an invaluable store of knowledge and with the clear guidance required in order to perform gastrointestinal endoscopy to best effect.
For the first time four crucial aspects of gastrointestinal endoscopy are combined in a single text. Drugs for sedation and monitoring of the patient are addressed with particular reference to safety issues and comfort and acceptability for the patient. Resource management and health economic techniques are applied to endoscopy to determine quality and outcome. Problems of negligence and informed consent form the basis of a medico-legal examination of endoscopic practices.
