Overview

Registered nurses in endoscopy prepare endoscopic procedures, provide instrument assistance and handle post-procedure tasks. They support sedation and anaesthesia, monitor patients and act in emergencies. Hygienic working and the competent reprocessing of rigid and flexible endoscopes and accessories are among their core tasks. They work mainly in gastroenterological, pulmonary and urological endoscopy. They conduct pre- and post-endoscopic nursing conversations and also care for vulnerable groups such as people with dementia, children or unstable patients.
