ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION: After the S3 Guideline Sedation in Gastrointestinal Endoscopy was published, a training curriculum for a three-day course for endoscopy nurses was developed. The aim of this study was to investigate what effect the course participation had on the daily routine process and structure quality by implementing a German-wide survey in gastroenterology practices and clinics. METHODS: A questionnaire with a total of 44 individual questions on personnel, space, and equipment structure, sedation, peri- and post-interventional monitoring, as well as discharge and complication management in endoscopy departments was sent to a total of 2113 course participants (1056 Institutions). They had completed the seminar between December 2008/January 2009 and June 2010. RESULTS: The response rate was 21.2 % (224 /1056). Fifty-four percent were from clinic endoscopy departments, 46 % from practices. Overall, some form of structural change occurred in 86.8 % of the clinics and in 84.5 % of the practices. New staff was hired in 28.1 % of the clinics and 12.6 % of the practices. Rosters were changed in 11.6 % of the clinics and 7.8 % of the practices. Almost all issues improved after course participation. However, they did not reach statistic significance with the exception of the availability of peri-interventional ECG-monitoring in practices. The "performance of sedation in threesomes" increased in clinics by more than 20 % and in practices by more than 15 %. The use of the ASA-classification to assess risk increased significantly in clinics (before 24 %, after 50 %) as well as practices (before 40 %, after 60 %) by more than 20 % (p = 0.0007 and p = 0.0385, respectively). The documentation of the discharge status (e. g. using checklists) more than doubled in clinics (before 19 %, after 41.3 %) and practices (before 17.5 %, after 38.8 %) after course completion. CONCLUSION: The only nationwide endoscopy nurses' survey on structure and process quality in endoscopy so far, shows that since the publication of the S3 guideline in 2008 numerous processes and structures have improved with respect to patient safety.

ABSTRACT

Though rare, cardiac echinococcosis should be included in the differential diagnosis of cardiac tumors, particularly in patients originating from endemic areas or with manifestation of hydatid disease in other organs. Diagnosis and localisation of the cysts is best accomplished with non-invasive methods such as 2-D transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography, computed tomography and NMR. Excision of the cardiac cyst from the interventricular septum in a 21 year old patient with polyvisceral echinococcosis was performed with cardiopulmonary bypass. Adjunctive medical therapy with mebendazol is being continued for 24 months postoperatively. Twelve months after surgery the patient is asymptomatic without echocardiographic signs of recurrence.

ABSTRACT

Retrospective analysis of 324 childhood appendectomies revealed microscopic signs of previous inflammation in 66 out of 111 acute cases and in 162 of 182 cases of "chronic" cases presented with a long history of recurrent abdominal pain. Thus a somewhat liberal indication for appendicectomy in childhood seems justified in the appropriate cases.
