ASGE Guideline on Minimum Staffing Requirements for the Performance of GI Endoscopy

Pdf Summary

The document provides guidelines on the minimum staffing requirements for GI endoscopy procedures based on sedation type. For routine procedures without sedation, only one staff member is needed, either an unlicensed assistive personnel (UAP) or a registered nurse (RN). For routine procedures with moderate sedation, one RN is required, and for deep sedation, one RN and an additional staff member are recommended. Advanced procedures with moderate sedation or deep sedation require one RN and an additional staff member, while procedures with anesthesia provider-assisted sedation only need one staff member. The document also highlights the tasks performed by the staff during different sedation types and the need for appropriate staffing levels to ensure patient safety and procedure efficiency.
