ASGE Annual GI Advanced Practice Provider Course (On-Demand) - Onboarding (Day One) | March 2024-Informed Consent, Sedation and Bowel Preparation

Pdf Summary

Dr. John Martin from Mayo Clinic provides insights into informed consent, sedation, and bowel preparation for endoscopic procedures. Informed consent involves disclosure of procedure details, risks, benefits, and alternatives in simple terms, encouraging patient participation. Sedation aims to relieve anxiety, improve exam performance, and reduce memory of the procedure, with various levels of sedation and anesthesia based on patient factors. Bowel preparation timing, regimens, and adjunctive measures are crucial for effective colon cleansing before colonoscopy, with emphasis on split-dose regimens for better outcomes. Preprocedural assessment, ASA classification, and anesthesia assistance guidelines ensure patient safety during endoscopic procedures. Monitoring, tips for sedation, and complications management are essential for a smooth procedure. Practice pearls emphasize the importance of informed consent, proper sedation process, and meticulous patient preparation for successful outcomes. Clear documentation, understanding risks, and tailored sedation plans contribute to optimal patient care. Patient education and communication play key roles in establishing trust and ensuring a positive patient-provider relationship throughout the endoscopic procedure.
