¿Cómo puede contribuir la tecnología de Olympus a mejorar la rentabilidad y el nivel de calidad?

Las consideraciones sobre los costes no deberían poner en riesgo la calidad de las exploraciones. Sin embargo, el aumento del número de intervenciones hace que la rentabilidad pase a ser un aspecto importante. Los endoscopios Olympus también han demostrado que permiten ahorrar tiempo y dinero.

La duración de la intubación cecal puede reducirse en un 20 % con colonoscopios con tecnología de inserción responsiva. Estos equipos pueden ayudar a ganar el tiempo necesario para realizar exploraciones adicionales u observaciones detalladas. (32)

La utilización de la tecnología ScopeGuide y de colonoscopios con tecnología de inserción responsiva permite reducir la cantidad y los costes de la sedación, lo que contribuye a una recuperación más rápida del paciente. (31,37)

Los costes de las biopsias y los análisis histopatológicos pueden reducirse mediante la aplicación del diagnóstico óptico (24) y de biopsias selectivas (10) en la práctica cotidiana.


El doble enfoque puede desempeñar un papel importante en el diagnóstico óptico, ya que eleva el índice de confianza (un aspecto importante para maximizar las ventajas económicas de estas estrategias). (25,43)

¿Por qué existe una presión cada vez mayor para mejorar la rentabilidad de la colonoscopia?

La colonoscopia es una técnica efectiva a nivel clínico y económico para prevenir el cáncer colorrectal. (38,39) Sin embargo, el aumento del número de pacientes y lesiones (41) también puede incrementar la necesidad de contar con técnicas que ofrezcan rentabilidad y un uso eficiente del tiempo. En el esófago, el síndrome de Barrett es un importante indicador con una prevalencia (41) cada vez mayor y que genera unos costes de seguimiento importantes. (42) ¿Qué factores de las intervenciones aumentan los costes?

Además del coste del equipo, existen diversos factores que afectan a la rentabilidad; por ejemplo, el tiempo necesario para la exploración y la recuperación del paciente, el personal necesario para la intervención, los fármacos utilizados o el coste de los análisis histopatológicos o de la desinfección.


Es necesario garantizar la calidad.
