Small bowel capsule endoscopy: May we delegate it to nurses?

In small bowel CE, a pre-selection of pathological images by a trained nurse could be integrated in a transfer of skills' program and appeared feasible. The gain of time for the gastroenterologists is significant and reduced the medical time for reading from 34 to 9 minutes per examination. Meantime, an overall delegation of small bowel CE to nurses suffered for a lack of efficacy. Our study paved the way for a nurse' training program in the pre-selection and identification of CE images.
