Relevant aspects of digestive endoscopy. Evidence-based suggestions. Chilean Association of Digestive Endoscopy (ACHED), Course 2013
Digestive endoscopy is a complex tool for diagnosis and treatment, with continuous development both in technical aspects and in their application for the different pathologies where this technique is required. Therefore, a continuous education program is necessary for the practitioner using this technique. With the purpose of reaching an agreement between different aspects of the performance of these procedures and also generating proposals for its application that are useful for the physicians of this area of expertise, during 2013 the Chilean Association of Digestive Endoscopy (ACHED) developed a workshop called ‘Relevant aspects of digestive endoscopy. Evidence-based suggestions’. This workshop was attended by gastroenterologists and trainee practitioners, who worked in groups during a period of two months where they reviewed available evidence to answer several questions relating to milestones and lesions that need to be described in upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, the preparation of the GI endoscopy report, technical aspects and quality measures in colonoscopy. This review resulted in proposals that were analyzed and agreed on in the form of recommendations presented for further analysis and discussion amongst endoscopic teams in our country.
