Video Summary

The talk discussed colonoscopy, its phases, and relevant considerations. Colonoscopy uniquely allows for both polyp detection and removal, unlike some screening tests. The procedure is divided into three phases: pre-procedure, intra-procedure, and post-procedure. Patient selection is crucial, considering indications like screening or evaluating symptoms. Timing, patient history, and potential interventions are key pre-procedure considerations. During the procedure, high-quality exams track indicators like intubation rates and detection rates. Intra-procedure considerations include device choices based on patient factors and available interventions like biopsies and hemostasis. Post-procedure, discussing findings and expectations with patients is essential. Potential complications include post-polypectomy bleeding and perforations. Lastly, artificial intelligence is enhancing polyp detection and classification, promising a significant future impact on colonoscopy practices.
