Ever since the invention of the fiberoptic endoscope in 1888,
gastrointestinal endoscopy has grown increasingly popular in
day-to-day patient management. Most recently, a variety of
therapeutic procedures are also being performed through the
endoscope. With increasing technological advances, new endo scopic
procedures will be appearing on the horizon. It, therefore, becomes
extremely relevant for the gastrointestinal nurse or assistant to
be familiar with various endoscopic procedures. Gastrointestinal
Endoscopy and Related Procedures will be a useful and practical
guide in the making of a qualified gastrointestinal assistant. This
book is notable for its elegant style, illustrations, detailed
account of procedures, and especially the instructions on patient
care. Discussions on physical preparation of gastrointestinal
procedures, helpful hints and instrument care add to the value of
this book. The psychological impact on the patient undergoing endo
scopic procedures and the nurse's role in alleviating 'the fear of
the unknown' also is properly covered in the text. It is refreshing
to see a nursing perspective in the writing of this text.
Throughout the whole book, one can feel a warm and humane approach
towards patients with gastrointestinal disease. All these and more
are, of course, a result of Sister Morag Ravenscroft's vast
experience along with the guidance of Dr Charles Swan. It is a
textbook worth reading and relishing. Marcia Pfeifer R.N."
