ASGE Annual GI Advanced Practice Provider Course - Day Two (On-Demand)

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discussed various topics related to gastroenterology, including hyperplastic polyps in the stomach, the use of PPIs, training for new APPs in a busy GI practice, and management of patient questions pre and post endoscopic procedures. The speakers highlighted that for hyperplastic polyps in the stomach, smaller polyps carry a low risk, but larger polyps may need to be removed due to potential pre-cancerous risk. However, it was noted that removing these polyps can lead to a higher risk of bleeding. The use of PPIs was discussed, with the speakers emphasizing the importance of balancing the risk and benefits for individual patients. They highlighted that PPI use is generally safe and effective, but individual patient factors and preferences should be considered. In terms of training new APPs in a busy GI practice, the speakers suggested creating a structured education plan, including mentorship, lectures, and hands-on experience in the endoscopy unit. Lastly, the speakers recommended that APPs managing patient questions pre and post endoscopic procedures should seek opportunities to shadow experienced physicians and familiarize themselves with clinical guidelines and resources.
