Nowadays, with the greasy diet and unhealthy life, more and more people have poor gastrointestinal function, either acid reflux and nausea or stomach pain, so this requires gastroscopy.
What is Gastroscopy?
Gastroscopy is with the help of a thin, soft tube with an endoscope at the front end, and then extends from the patient's mouth into the esophagus, stomach and duodenum to determine whether there is inflammation, ulcers, unknown masses, and the nature of the disease. During gastroscopy, it is necessary to observe the state of the esophagus, gastric body, and duodenal mucosa to determine whether there are gastritis, gastric ulcers, polyps, tumors and other problems.
So what is the difference between ordinary and **gastroscopy?
1. The preoperative preparation is different.
First of all, general gastroscopy is an examination method performed while the patient is awake, and the tube of the gastroscope is transmitted from the mouth to the stomach, and this examination method does not require anesthesia evaluation before surgery. Gastroscopy refers to the examination method performed by the patient under anesthesia, and the patient needs to be evaluated for anesthesia before surgery.
2. The anesthesia status is different.
Ordinary gastroscopy patients are awake throughout the examination, and only local anesthesia is applied to the mouth and throat in the examination room. And ** gastroscopy patients are under anesthesia for the whole process, and general anesthesia is performed.
3. The degree of pain is different.
Ordinary gastroscopy patients will have a strong sense of discomfort, and there will be obvious pain when the gastroscope enters the stomach through the throat. However, due to the fact that the gastroscopy patient is in a state of general anesthesia, he does not feel pain and discomfort during the whole process.
In fact, how to choose mainly depends on the degree of personal cooperation, if the ordinary gastroscopy reaction is large, can not cooperate, and has been choking, it will be particularly uncomfortable, then the stomach can not be seen clearly, then it is still necessary to do **gastroscopy to check again, so the general recommendation is to do **gastroscopy.
So how can ordinary gastroscopy be combined to reduce uncomfortable symptoms?
1. During the examination process, the first thing is to wear loose clothes, loosen the neckline, take the left side lying position, bend the legs slightly, and then bite the mouth pad, when the doctor puts the gastroscope into the plastic contained in the mouth of the examinee, the whole body should be relaxed, and the swallowing action should be done slightly, when entering the esophagus, do not swallow the action, but should inhale through the nose instead, and slowly exhale in the mouth, so that the examination can be completed smoothly. Some people feel bloated and nauseous as air travels through the tube into their stomach. If you feel pain or discomfort, you should wave your hand to the doctor and never grab the mirror, which is particularly dangerous and can cause stomach bleeding.
2. Patients with severe cardiopulmonary diseases, such as severe arrhythmia, heart failure, etc., are prohibited from undergoing gastroscopy; Colds, fevers, and coughs are also not suitable for gastroscopy to prevent accidental suctioning of pneumonia, which will outweigh the losses.
