Advanced Endoscopy and Upper GI Bleeding Quality Indicators

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video focuses on quality indicators for three advanced endoscopic procedures: EGD, ERCP, and EUS. It emphasizes the importance of high-quality endoscopic procedures and the need to evaluate the performance of individuals or groups compared to benchmarks in order to identify poor performers and improve their outcomes. The quality indicators for ERCP include appropriate indications, successful cannulation rates, administration of antibiotics, limited fluoroscopy use, stone clearance rates, and successful stent placement. For EUS, indicators include accurate staging of tumors, diagnostic rates for cancer detection, documentation of adverse events, and appropriate antibiotic use. The quality indicators for upper GI bleeding treatment involve documentation of ulcer bleeding using the forest class classification, use of prophylactic antibiotics, and planned second look endoscopy for re-bleeding. The video encourages endoscopists to review the ASGE documents on quality indicators and interventions to improve quality in these procedures.
