As pediatric gastrointestinal endoscopy continues to develop and evolve, pediatric gastroenterologists are more frequently called on to develop and direct a pediatric endoscopy unit. Lack of published literature and focused training in fellowship can render decision making about design, capacity, operation, equipment purchasing, and staffing challenging. To help guide management decisions, we distributed a short survey to 18 pediatric gastroenterology centers throughout the United States and Canada. This article provides practical guidance by summarizing available expert opinions on the topic of setting up a pediatric endoscopy unit.
随着儿科胃肠内镜检查技术不断发展和演进，儿科胃肠病学家越来越频繁地被要求建立并管理儿科内镜检查科室。由于缺乏相关文献发表以及在 fellowship 培训中缺乏针对性训练，使得在设计、容量、运营、设备采购和人员配备等方面的决策具有挑战性。为了帮助指导管理决策，我们向美国和加拿大的 18 个儿科胃肠病学中心发放了一份简短的调查问卷。本文通过总结关于建立儿科内镜检查科室这一主题的现有专家意见，提供实用指导。
