The painless gastroscopy process turns out to be these three steps

Painless gastroscopy is a type of gastroscopy that has become more popular in recent years. Its invention has further reduced the pain of gastroscopy. But what is the process of painless gastroscopy? Most people don't know. In fact, painless gastroscopy examination is divided into three steps, which effectively helps eliminate the patient's negative emotions.

1. Painless gastroscopy uses the latest type of oral short-acting induction agent, which is similar to the color and taste of milk. It can lubricate the throat, allowing the hose to pass through the throat quickly, and at the same time anesthetize the throat to achieve relaxation and relieve the patient's tension. Fujinon painless gastroscopy gastric tube is an extremely soft fiber tube with a diameter of only a few millimeters. It delivers cold light from the mouth through the esophagus and gastric cavity to the descending duodenum, illuminating the esophagus, gastric cavity and duodenum.

2. The miniature camera carried at the front end of the gastroscope can simultaneously and sensitively record the images inside the lumen, and dynamically present the bright and clear images inside the lumen on the high-definition display screen, which greatly improves the accuracy of subtle lesions (such as early gastric cancer, small colon polyps, etc.). At the same time, it allows patients to see the condition of their lesions in a clear state of mind, and communicate with doctors in a timely and all-round manner. The entire examination only takes 3-5 minutes, which greatly shortens the examination time.

3. After the gastroscopy, you must fast for 1 hour, do not drink alcohol within 12 hours, and do not eat spicy food within one day. The examination should not affect your normal work and life. Those with more serious illnesses can rest. The driver cannot drive alone on that day. If a biopsy or other endoscopic treatment is required, special care is required and please follow the doctor's instructions.

advantage

1. It helps to eliminate the patient's tension and anxiety and improve their tolerance to the examination;

2. Treatment can be performed under painless gastroscopy with minimal trauma. During the examination, a variety of minimally invasive treatments can be performed for gastrointestinal bleeding, polyps, ulcers, stenosis, etc. The patient has no memory of the entire examination, feels no pain, and is more able to cooperate with the doctor to complete the examination;

3. The examination time is short, not counting the preparation time before the examination, and the painless gastroscopy can be completed within a few minutes from start to finish;

4. The results are more accurate. Since gastrointestinal motility is reduced under anesthesia, it is easier to detect subtle lesions. Painless gastroscopy has a magnifying effect and can diagnose some tiny lesions and even mucosal lesions, thereby improving the sensitivity and accuracy of diagnosis and avoiding mechanical damage caused by the patient's unconscious restlessness during routine gastroscopy.

Indications

Patients who have indications for gastroscopy but are afraid of routine gastroscopy; patients with other diseases and whose condition makes gastroscopy very necessary, such as those with hypertension, mild coronary heart disease, old myocardial infarction, history of epilepsy, pediatric patients or mental illness who cannot cooperate. Indications for gastroscopy: various upper abdominal discomforts, suspected upper gastrointestinal lesions, but clinical diagnosis cannot be confirmed; unexplained blood loss, especially hematemesis, black stools suspected of upper gastrointestinal bleeding; barium meal angiography, CT and other examinations suspected of lesions but cannot be diagnosed; lesions that require follow-up, such as ulcers, atrophic gastritis, gastric mucosal intestinal metaplasia and gastric mucosal intraepithelial neoplasia, etc.; patients who need gastroscopy for treatment.
