Video Summary
In this video, the speaker discusses ergonomics in endoscopy and the importance of incorporating it into practice. The speaker highlights the lack of formal ergonomic training in GI fellowships and the potential for endoscopic-related injuries (ERIs). They suggest several interventions to mitigate ERIs, including education, ergonomic timeouts, proper positioning of equipment and staff, micro breaks during procedures, and stretching. The speaker emphasizes the need for a collaborative approach and communication among the team members to promote safety and efficiency. They also discuss the importance of ergonomics during pregnancy and recommend using appropriate PPE, compression stockings, and supportive devices. The speaker concludes by encouraging the audience to become advocates for ergonomics and to participate in curriculum development and research in this area.
