Abstract

Purpose of review: This paper reviews the latest literature regarding the impact of COVID on endoscopy service provision.

Recent findings: Endoscopy has been shown to be largely safe when appropriate infection prevention and control measures are in place. Endoscopy training and education has been profoundly affected though novel training models to overcome this have been developed. Proper handling of delayed or cancelled procedures is of utmost importance to minimize delays in diagnosis and treatment of diseases such as cancer. Adoption of new technologies such as non-endoscopy alternatives and telehealth may be a viable alternative to minimize infection risks.

Summary: This pandemic has led to tangible differences in how we provide endoscopy service in the future. Future research focusing on better risk stratification of patients who need endoscopy, validating novel endoscopy training models, and adopting new technologies are urgently needed to support these changes in the post-pandemic world.

COVID-19大流行后的内窥镜检查-会有什么不同?

综述目的:本文综述了新冠肺炎对内镜服务提供影响的最新文献。最近的发现:当适当的感染预防和控制措施到位时，内窥镜检查在很大程度上是安全的。内窥镜培训和教育受到了深刻的影响，尽管已经开发出新的培训模式来克服这一问题。为了最大限度地减少癌症等疾病的诊断和治疗延误，正确处理延迟或取消的程序是至关重要的。采用诸如非内窥镜检查替代方案和远程保健等新技术可能是尽量减少感染风险的可行替代方案。总结:这次大流行导致我们在未来如何提供内窥镜检查服务方面发生了切实的变化。未来迫切需要开展研究，对需要内窥镜检查的患者进行更好的风险分层，验证新的内窥镜检查培训模式，并采用新技术，以支持大流行后世界的这些变化。
