Colonoscopy Practical
Conscious Competence describes a state of mastery of a practical skill where you understand why the interventions you perform work, or do not work to solve a clinical problem

In brief

The discussion emphasized the critical role of optimal visualization in colonoscopy. It highlighted that effective visualization in the cecum and rectum enhances diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes, particularly in detecting colorectal cancers. Utilizing structured approaches and scoring systems aids endoscopists in recognizing key landmarks and improving their competence. Techniques like using caps or EndoCuffs can aid in fold retraction and improve visualization. Storing images and videos digitally is crucial for record-keeping and discussions. Integration of artificial intelligence holds promise for efficient image analysis. Research opportunities lie in establishing links between visualization quality, adenoma detection rate, and overall procedure effectiveness. Proper visualization is a vital quality indicator, reflecting the thoroughness of the procedure and its impact on patient care.

Detailed Summary

Learning Objectives: 

  • Understand the importance of optimal colonoscopy visualization for accurate diagnoses.
