This is a helpful tool to have in all teaching centers...I feel comfortable in recommending it to the beginner and to the nursing students in endoscopy laboratories. -- Martin H. Floch, MD, Section of Digestive Diseases, Yale University School of Medicine, New Haven, CT, Journal of Clinical Gastroenterology

""The evolution of endoscopy into a more therapeutic endeavor has resulted in a need for a wider diversity of skills necessary to choreograph the patient care process cycle in endoscopy. The demands for more efficiency while maintaining the utmost standards in patient care makes the timing of this edition of the manual even more germane. This manual is a ""must have"" for those who are newly exposed to the endoscopy unit. It contains all the rudiments necessary for developing skill set guides and standard operating procedures manuals for any units or operating rooms involved in gastrointestinal endoscopy."" -- Patrick I. Okolo III, MD, MPH, Chief, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, Assistant Professor of Medicine, The Johns Hopkins Hospital, Baltimore, Maryland ""This book is a resource that takes endoscopy nurses from preprocedure to postprocedure focusing on all of the elements essential to delivering excellent patient care from procedure preparation to discharge. Information related to sedation, safe handling of equipment, and additional resources are also included. This edition contains the newest procedures and the most up to date techniques. The detailed pictures and illustrations strengthen the text. This manual is a key resource for new and experienced endoscopy nurses. It functions as a reference for anyone using endoscopy equipment and will contribute to improving the care delivered to patients undergoing these procedures."" -- Karen K.
