Overview

Diverticular disease is a common and complex gastrointestinal condition, particularly in Western societies, where it places a significant burden on healthcare systems. While many with diverticulosis are asymptomatic, progression to conditions like diverticulitis, diverticular bleeding, or Segmental Colitis Associated with Diverticulosis (SCAD) can lead to serious health issues requiring effective management. This course, presented by experts Kassem Sharif, Adi Lahat, and Oded Zmora, offers a comprehensive overview of diverticular disease. It covers epidemiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, pathophysiology, and treatment options, with a focus on managing complicated diverticulitis. The course includes 50 minutes of video lectures and PowerPoint presentations, with an estimated completion time of 60 minutes, including a final assessment.

Overview

Despite its many drawbacks, including sampling errors, cost and the risk of complications, liver biopsy remains the gold standard for diagnosing several liver diseases, particularly nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. Furthermore, it may aid in choosing the most appropriate treatment or establishing disease prognosis. Clinicians should be able to accurately interpret clinical parameters justifying the need to perform a liver biopsy, decide on the most appropriate procedure and be prepared to deal with the possible complications.

Overview

Acute-on-Chronic Liver Failure (ACLF) is a critical medical condition characterised by the sudden deterioration of liver function in individuals with underlying chronic liver disease. This complex syndrome is marked by a rapid onset of severe liver dysfunction and is often associated with multiple organ failures. ACLF requires immediate medical attention and intervention, posing a high mortality risk. Effective management strategies and early detection are crucial in improving the prognosis for patients with ACLF, making it a significant focus in gastroenterology and hepatology.

Abstract

Introduction

Nasojejunal tubes (NJT) are usually inserted into the small intestine with the help of an endoscope, after which they need to be redirected through the nose. The current method of redirection involves using a rerouting tube, a laryngoscope, and forceps, which can be uncomfortable for patients due to the sensitivity of the throat. Besides, this method is resource-intensive and creates sustainability issues, as the instruments are mostly single-use and contain batteries. The National Health Service (NHS) accounts for 5·4% of UK carbon dioxide emissions, one which, in 2015, amounted to 26·6 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent—equating to 39% of all public sector emissions in England. Endoscopy appears to be a significant contributor to health care's environmental footprint, generating about 3·09 kg of waste per bed per day (the third highest emitting hospital department).¹

Aims & Methods

We aimed to gather information on the standard practices related to NJT placement and understand the challenges faced by endoscopists and patients as perceived by practitioners such as nurses and endoscopists. For this purpose, we designed a short survey consisting of 16 questions on Survey Monkey. We shared the survey through various channels such as WhatsApp groups, X, and emails from gastroenterologists, endoscopists, and nurse groups. The survey remained open for 30 days and was shared globally.

Results

A total of 146 participants responded to the survey. The majority (73.9%) were from the UK, 13 % from Europe and the remaining from the rest of the world. The majority (88.4%) were medical endoscopists, with a median experience of 6 (1-30) years in NJT placement. The standard "through the scope" method was the preferred technique for NJT insertion (78.8%) of participants. Some (10.9%) preferred a slim scope through the nose and then placing NJT over a wire; others reported mixed methods, including under fluoroscopy guidance. Most respondents used midazolam and an opiate for the procedure (67.1%), only midazolam (13.7%), propofol (16.4%), and only a handful did it without sedation. The most challenging step reported by participants was the NJ tube rerouting from the mouth to the nose (41.7%), followed by avoiding displacement of the NJ tube during scope removal (27.4%). Redirection from the mouth to the nose was also considered the most uncomfortable step for patients, with 71.2% of participants, followed by oesophageal intubation (15.1%). Laryngoscopes were used as a light source during rerouting by 74.7%, out of which 45.9% used disposable laryngoscopes. Similarly, 80% of respondents used Magill’s forceps, half of which were single-use. Notably, 80.8% of participants expressed concern about the environmental impact of single-use instruments in endoscopy.

Conclusion

This study highlights endoscopy practitioners’ primary difficulties when performing NJ tube placement. Rerouting the tube from the mouth to the nose is considered the most challenging and uncomfortable step for patients. The findings emphasise the urgency for improved techniques or equipment to address this challenge, reduce patient discomfort, and consider environmental sustainability in endoscopy.
