Looping and Abdominal Pressure: A Visual Guide to a Successful Colonoscopy
This 4-hour class will incorporate a formal 90-minute lecture along with 2 hours of hands-on demonstration. The lecture will cover the theory behind the hands-on application and will provide informative visual guidance to achieve the objective of each technique. In the hands-on portion of the class, the attendees will have an opportunity to demonstrate proficiency in the 19 techniques taught. The lecture and hands-on portion will discuss the various loops that may form during colonoscopy and the techniques used to prevent the loop from re-forming. Proper ergonomics will focus on safety and comfort for the patient as well as the caregiver. The goal of this course is that all attendees will learn and perform each technique and be able to take the skill back to their department to perfect and share with co-workers. Each attendee should wear comfortable clothing as we will be performing the techniques on each other.
