简要总结
Team work is highly challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic. Necessary protective equipment as FFP-mask and face shields impair communication significantly.Objective of the study is to evalaute the impact of digital enhanced telecommunication in endoscopic procedures.
详细描述
Optimal communication is crucial for team work in high class endoscopy. Team work is highly challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic. Necessary protective equipment as FFP-mask and face shields impair communication significantly. Digital enhanced approaches to maintain team communication during endoscopic procedures are mandatory not only in actual circumstances.
Materials and methods
A prospective, two-armed interventional study will be performed at an endoscopy unit at a tertiary center. 200 endoscopic examinations (EGD, colonoscopy, EUS, ERCP) were randomly assigned (1:1) to a group that was performed with DECT equipped endoscopy team or with standard communication. All examinations were performed under protective equipment. Primary outcome was rate of communication associated adverse events. Secondary outcomes included team subjectively perceived comfort with DECT enhanced communication during endoscopic work, duration of examinations, SAE.
