This part of the small intestine that connects to the stomach.
Duodenum.
This procedure is used to open narrowed areas or strictures in the GI tract
Dilation
These are the sizes of biopsy forceps
Standard, large and jumbo
Dilation is likely needed when this disease state is present
Strictures
Along with the pancreas, this organ secrets enzymes and acids to help digest food.
Stomach
T or F: CRE Balloons are capable of inflating to 5 distinct diameters.
False: 3 distinct diameters
The goal in biopsy is to obtain enough quality tissue to receive an accurate this
Diagnosis
These two disease states are caused by inflammation.
Esophagitis and Gastritis
This is the connection point between the esophagus and the stomach
Lower Esophageal Sphincter
A common rule in GI dilation suggests that no more than this many incremental sizes should be used in a single session
Three
The third set of catheter markings on the biopsy forceps represent this
Warning for the specimen
Acute gastritis is often caused by overuse of this.
NSAIDS
During an EGD, the scope is used to examine the esophagus, _______ and the duodenum.
Stomach
Do this to your inflation syringe before the balloon is passed through the scope to help with quick deflation after the procedure.
What is create a negative pressure vacuum / "Deflate before you inflate"
When taking a biopsy, these two layers of tissue should be included.
Mucosa and submucosa
GERD and Achalasia are two non-malignant disorders where the _____ does not preform properly.
LES
This is the upper most part of the stomach
Fundus
Dilators create two types of force. Balloons create expanding radial force while Bougies use this type of force.
Shearing or Fixed
When using the “UPPER” technique during biopsies, this is what the “E” stands for.
Energize the bite
This is a non-malignant condition that has a higher risk of developing esophageal cancer.
Barrett's Esophagus
