Teamwork in Action: The Nurse’s Impact on Endoscopic Vacuum Therapy

Exclusively organised together with Boston Scientific

Endoscopic Vacuum Therapy is a minimally invasive method for the treatment of anastomotic leakages, allowing a continuous drainage of the secretion of the leakage cavity and reducing its size. The placement requires a close co-operation of the entire endoscopy team.

In this webinar, we

• Set the scene – what is Endoscopic Vacuum Therapy, explaining the principles, indications, and clinical rationale.
• Focus on the Nurse’s Role in Preparation and Setup
• Share tips and tricks for the placement as well as the intra-procedural patient care
• Discuss essential points for the post-procedure phase and follow-up
