2025年7月11日
本研究提出了一种进行结肠镜检查的有效方法。在此过程中取得成功包括确保彻底的肠道准备，小心插入内窥镜，同时尽量减少空气吹入，并巧妙地管理器械的任何循环。
我的研究重点是帮助初学者学习内窥镜检查，特别是早期发现胃肠道肿瘤。我们使用高清内窥镜 AI 软件来发现肿瘤，并使用 VR 模拟器来帮助初学者练习。一些挑战包括改善早期癌症检测、帮助初学者更快地学习以及减少遗漏肿瘤的机会。
[旁白]要开始直肠探查，请将结肠镜引入镇静患者的直肠。尽量减少空气的使用，而是使用水来减轻患者的不适。如果肠道准备不足以进行换水或浸泡，请改用空气吹气。使用轻柔的动作，旋转结肠镜，同时穿过直肠。对于乙状结肠探查，调整结肠镜的尖端以稍微弯曲晶状体，以便更好地通过乙状结肠。在直肠和乙状结肠交界处的第一个转弯处，逆时针旋转一个大角度，然后沿着该段的其余部分顺时针旋转。确保结肠镜旋转和自由移动，没有阻力。根据需要识别并减少示波器的任何循环。接下来，通过顺时针旋转结肠镜来探索降结肠。轻轻地收回它的身体，然后稍微向后拉穿过降结肠。保持结肠镜的镜头稳定以提高能见度。当内窥镜过渡到横冒号时逆时针旋转。现在，轻轻吸气，轻轻抬起镜片，推进结肠镜。小心缩回瞄准镜，同时按下镜头以保持稳定位置。当肝屈接近时，吸气并顺时针旋转进入升结肠。识别并解决作用域的任何循环。轻轻吸气，同时继续将结肠镜推进升结肠。继续直到回盲瓣消失在视野之外，然后逆时针旋转内窥镜，同时保持其尖端抬高。观察回盲瓣作为视觉标记，确认结肠镜检查成功完成。仔细检查回盲部区域和阑尾开口，确保没有遗漏病变。结肠镜检查后，密切监测患者是否有任何腹部症状，例如结肠镜检查后恶心、腹痛或呕吐。在一个月的时间里，在有和没有麻醉的情况下进行了 1,600 多次结肠镜检查。患者平均年龄约为 32 岁，其中大多数是女性。到达回盲部区域的成功率约为 95%。平均手术时间为九分钟。
