Care and Handling of the Flexible Endoscope
Flexible endoscopes have been in use since the late 1960's, permitting minimally invasive visualization of the interior of many body and lumens of tubular organs. The number of procedures performed endoscopically continues to increase each year. This independent study activity is intended to explore best practices in the everyday care and handling of flexible endoscopes. In this web-based independent study education activity, learners will review the care and handling of the flexible endoscope. They will learn how to prevent damage from everyday use, thus extending the life of the scope and ensuring the safety of the patient. Participants successfully completing the independent study activity by reading the content, achieving a score of 80% or higher on the post-test, and submitting the required evaluation will be awarded 1 contact hour.
