Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video is a presentation on the basics of colonoscopy by an unidentified speaker. The speaker begins with a polling question asking if colonoscopy is the only screening test that can detect and remove polyps in the same setting, to which the answer is true. They mention that they will discuss the topic further in their last talk of the day. They then move on to the topic of delayed post-pulposcopy bleeding, stating that it most commonly occurs between five and seven days after the procedure. They discuss the phases of colonoscopy, patient selection, complications, and the potential impact of artificial intelligence on the future of colonoscopy. They stress the importance of understanding the mechanics of the procedure and being able to explain it to patients. They also emphasize the need for timely scheduling and appropriate patient selection based on the potential change in patient management. They describe common indications for colonoscopy, such as colon cancer screening, surveillance, lower GI bleeding, and abnormal imaging. They highlight contraindications for the procedure, such as advanced age, comorbidities, and technical difficulties. The speaker also discusses the importance of reviewing lab results and understanding the role of diet and medication in the preparation for colonoscopy. They mention the different devices and techniques used during the procedure, as well as potential complications, including post-pulmonary bleeding and perforation. The speaker provides examples and images to illustrate these concepts. They also touch on quality indicators for colonoscopy and the potential role of AI in the future of the procedure. The speaker concludes by mentioning the growing shortage of gastroenterologists and speculates on the possibility of an APP endoscopist role in the future.
