Assessment of Patient Satisfaction in Digestive Endoscopy

Abstract

In Italy, there are an estimated 65,300 total new diagnoses of colorectal cancer each year (the most common cancer of all), stomach cancer, and esophageal cancer (di Oncologia Medica, 2016). Endoscopic screening has been shown to reduce mortality by identifying and removing lesions that risk progression to cancer (Shine, Bui, & Burgess, 2020). for this reason, every year more than 1.7 million gastroscopies and colonoscopies are performed in Italy, almost all for diagnostic reasons (Endoscopia operativa, nuove frontiere, 2018). Methodsa narrative review of the literature was performed (ferrari, 2015). The research question was based on assessment of Patient Satisfaction in Digestive Endoscopy A Narrative Review of the Literature

Nurse-Administered Propofol Sedation Training Curricula and Propofol Administration in Digestive Endoscopy Procedures

“…Moreover, although efficiency, efficacy, and safety of NAAP and NAPS practices have been amply demonstrated in patients at low ASA (American Society of Anaesthesiologists) physical status risk—if those who manage the sedation have been adequately trained, have experience, and follow a defined protocol (Gollaher & Baker, 2012; Minciullo, Colombo, Renzi, & Filomeno, 2021)—they are still severely limited because at least 21 scientific societies disagree on its admissibility (Perel, 2011).…”
