Gastroscopy is a procedure that allows doctors to assess the condition of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum using a gastroscope, a flexible tube with a video camera at the end. It is an important diagnostic and therapeutic examination that can help identify various pathologies and diseases of the gastrointestinal tract.
However, many patients experience anxiety and worry before undergoing gastroscopy due to the possible discomfort and unpleasant sensations during the procedure.
To make the procedure more comfortable for patients, medication-induced sleep is often used.
Medication-induced sleep (sedation) is a method of pain relief and anxiety reduction by administering drugs that help the patient relax and fall asleep during the procedure.
In the case of gastroscopy,
medication-induced sleep can be especially helpful,
as it helps reduce anxiety and discomfort during the examination.
Процедура гастроскопии с медикаментозным сном обычно проходит следующим образом: перед началом процедуры пациенту вводят препараты для обезболивания и седации через вену. Это помогает быстро достичь желаемого состояния расслабления и сна.
Затем врач вводит гастроскоп через рот пациента и проводит необходимые исследования.
Основные преимущества гастроскопии с медикаментозным сном включают:
1.
Reduction of anxiety and worry in the patient.
2.
Reduction of pain and discomfort during the procedure.
3.
Improving the quality of conducting research by better cooperation of the patient.
4.
A higher degree of safety for the patient thanks to controlled sleep state.
Here are some of the conditions and problems
that can be detected using gastroscopy:
1.
Stomach and duodenal ulcers: Gastroscopy allows visualization of ulcers and ulcerative defects on the mucous membrane of the stomach and duodenum.
2.
Esophagitis: Inflammation of the mucous membrane of the esophagus can be detected during gastroscopy.
3.
Рефлюкс-эзофагит: a condition in which stomach contents regularly rise up into the esophagus,
can be detected using gastroscopy.
4.
Polyps: tumor-like formations on the mucous membrane of the stomach or intestines can be found and removed during gastroscopy.
5.
Gastritis: inflammation of the stomach lining can be seen during gastroscopy.
6.
Stomach or esophageal cancer: gastroscopy allows doctors to detect tumors and tissue changes
that may indicate a cancerous process.
7.
Other pathologies: gastroscopy can also help detect other conditions, such as bleeding,
infections,
stenoses (narrowing) of the esophagus or stomach,
developmental abnormalities, and other pathologies.
Overall,
gastroscopy with medication-induced sleep is an effective method for performing the procedure in patients
suffering from anxiety or fear of gastroscopy.
This approach helps improve the comfort and safety of the procedure,
that contributes to more effective diagnostic and therapeutic interventions in the gastrointestinal tract.
