EUS vs EGD in Emergency Room Patients Referred for EGD

NCT04408872 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Phase: NA · Type: INTERVENTIONAL

Last updated 2021-01-15

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Emergency room patients referred for esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD) often have many possible causes for their symptoms. These patients inevitably undergo further testing if EGD is inconclusive, which adds costs and prolongs emergency room length of stay (LOS).EUS has traditionally been used after EGD for a myriad of reasons that no longer apply. The investigators therefore propose a prospective pilot study to determine whether adding primary EUS to EGD can reduce LOS and resource utilisation in emergency room patients referred for EGD.

Conditions

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Esophago-gastro-duodenoscopy (EGD)

EGD: ENDOSCOPIC PROCEDURE DURING WHICH THE ESOPHAGUS, STOMACH AND DUODENUM ARE VISUALISED WITH A TINY CAMERA IMPLANTED AT THE END OF AN ENDOSCOPE.

DIAGNOSTIC_TEST

Endoscopic ultrasound (EUS)

EUS: SAME AS EGD, BUT IN ADDITION HAS AN INTEGRATED ULTRASOUND PROBE WHICH ALLOWS TO EXAMINE THE PANCREAS, LIVER AND BILIARY SYSTEM.
