More gastroenterology nurses are performing bronchoscopy, whether we want to or not!! Compared to gastrointestinal endoscopy, however, bronchoscopy has different challenges and areas of concern. This presentation will compare and contrast bronchoscopy and endoscopy, including differences in patient assessment, sedation, procedural complications, equipment and supplies, and patient recovery.

Section Description

We are pleased to present the Abstracts from the SGNA's 32nd Annual Course: Passion for GI Nursing: Pass It On!! The diversity of these topics certainly reflects the richness and breadth of our specialty. In keeping with the tradition of the Annual Course, we hope the following abstracts will encourage discussions for improving nursing practice and patient care outcomes.
