Day Procedure Centre
CDD is a medical institution accredited under ISO 9002 standards and licensed by the NSW Department of Health as a day procedure centre. In order to provide and exceed the high standard of service required by these standards, the Centre operates according to the following schedule.
- At CDD we provide patients the following medical services:
- Consultation
- Colonoscopy
- Small Bowel Capsule Endoscopy - NEW!
- Panendoscopy
- Oesophageal Dilatation
- Infrared Coagulation
- Argon Plasma Coagulation
- C14 Urea Breath Test
On the day of procedure, our patients are greeted and pre-admitted by reception staff. Our patients are then seen by one of our specialists for a consultation. Prior to a procedure all patients are attended to by one of our qualified nursing staff before undergoing review by the attending sedationist.
Procedures performed at CDD do not require a general anaesthetic, as intravenous sedation is administered by a sedationist. Sedation plays an important role in ensuring patient comfort while allowing the specialist to effectively perform the procedure. Throughout the procedure, the sedationist carefully monitors the patient, ensuring he/she is as comfortable as possible.
Following the completion of the procedure, the patient is taken to recovery. After waking, patients are accompanied to seated recovery, where they are provided with a light meal and their report of procedure findings are read and explained to them. Finally, patients are discharged from the Centre and all documentation is finalised at reception.
