Endoscopic Ultrasound Advanced
Excerpt
Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS) is a sub-specialty of gastrointestinal (GI) nursing in the endoscopy unit. More and more hospitals as well as ambulatory surgical centers are gearing up to perform these unique procedures. The echosonoprobe is used in the endoscopy lab to stage cancers of the GI tract and to diagnose and treat a variety of medical conditions. This session will consist of a panel of nurses and a physician experienced in EUS. The session is designed to provide skills and education in EUS as well as to discuss the practice of therapeutic procedures. This will also be a hands-on experience for nurses with some background in EUS who wish to expand their knowledge base.
