To receive full CME credit, you are required to complete the evaluation form and self-test for each chapter you complete. Upon completion of the evaluation form and test, a certificate with your name and number of credits you have claimed will be generated. You must print your certificate using the print function in your browser.

The objectives listed below are to be used when evaluating the program. After completing this program, each participant should be able to:

  • Identify how state of the art and emerging research will impact management of digestive conditions.
  • Review diagnostic and treatment options for patients with several digestive diseases.

 

Interventional Endoscopy

Select one answer for each question. You may change your answers as many times as you need to until you click the "Submit" button located at the bottom of the test.

1. In treating patients with an acute upper GI bleed with a visible vessel:

A 7 French probe combined with 10 ccs of epinephrine affords equivalent outcomes and is the intervention of choice for the best outcome

Thirty-five ccs of epinephrine with a 10 French probe for cautery affords the best outcome

The outcomes were the same regardless of epinephrine dose

The outcomes were the same regardless of whether 7 or 10 French probes were used

2. Which of the following is noted after PDT?

Squamous overgrowth is the same in patients treated with PDT plus omeprazole as omeprazole alone

The highest grade of neoplasia found at endoscopy is likely to be beneath squamous mucosa

The highest grade of neoplasia was never found exclusively beneath squamous mucosa

A and C are correct

3. In patients who have a weight regain after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass surgery:

Endoscopic reduction of anastomotic lumen is technically feasible

Reduction of the anastomotic lumen is not technically feasible

Reduction of the anastomotic lumen may result in resumption of weight loss

A and C are correct

4. Transcolonic endoscopic surgery:

Can be used to perform cholecystectomy in pigs

Can be used to identify abdominal organs accurately in the pig

Is not technically feasible

A and B are correct
