Autofluorescence endoscopy for the gastrointestinal tract
This review focuses on our basic study results and clinical experience of fluorescence endoscopy for the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. Collagen, which fluoresces in the green wavelength range, is one of the major sources of tissue autofluorescence (AF) and AF imaging systems are now available. With their use, however, it is important to take into account tissue changes other than, or in addition...
متن کاملAnesthesia Innovations for Endoscopy of Gastrointestinal Tract
Gastrointestinal endoscopy (GIE) is a procedure for diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal tract abnormalities. This procedure requires some forms of anesthe‐ sia. The goal of procedural anesthesia is safe, effective control of pain and anxiety, as well as an appropriate degree of memory loss or reduced awareness. Generally, the majority of GIE procedures are performed by using topical ane...
متن کاملPulmonary aspiration after fibre-endoscopy of the upper gastrointestinal tract.
Pulmonary aspiration occurred in 16 out of 65 patients (24.6%) undergoing fibre-endoscopic examinations of the upper gastrointestinal tract under intravenous sedation, but it was rarely followed by serious complications. Aspiration was found to occur under sedation with diazepam alone, diazepam with atropine, and with chlormethiazole. The most important factors contributing to aspiration are th...
متن کاملUsefulness of Double-Balloon Endoscopy in the Postoperative Gastrointestinal Tract
Background. The small intestine has been considered to be a highly difficult organ to visualize in imaging examinations due to its anatomical location compared with the stomach and the colon. In recent years, many imaging modalities have become available, such as CT enterography, MR enterography, capsule endoscopy (CE), and double-balloon endoscopy (DBE). Patients and Methods. DBE was performed...
متن کاملDo we underestimate capsule endoscopy in the upper gastrointestinal tract?
ing. If done early in the course of the work-up, CE shortens the time to diagnosis and spares a number of alternative investigations with lower diagnostic yield. Taken together this seems appealing to doctors. A somewhat puzzling fact is that, in the majority of studies done so far for established indications, in only a small proportion of patients does CE have a real impact on the clinical out...
