2. For 3 days - a diet with the exception of fatty and spicy foods.
3. For 8 hours - a complete exclusion of meals.
4. For 3 hours - a ban on cigarettes and the use of any liquids.
5. Before the examination, go to the toilet.

Gastroscopy under anesthesia: the advantages of the method

The best way out of this situation is to perform a gastroscopy under general anesthesia. Currently, this method of carrying out the procedure is the most used. In this case, the patient is provided with 100% physical and psychological comfort, since the study is carried out in a state of sleep. Drugs used for medical sleep do not have any side effects and consequences.

How safe is sleep gastroscopy?

At the moment, sedation, as a method of anesthesia, is the most modern and safe invention in medicine. As a result of sedation, the patient falls into a light sleep, completely relaxes and experiences absolutely no discomfort during the procedure. The drugs used to immerse the patient in medical sleep are absolutely safe and have no side effects.

In our medical center, FGDS, EGDS, gastroscopy and colonoscopy are performed under light anesthesia or sedation.

Early diagnosis is the key to effective treatment. An examination such as gastroscopy using an endoscope is a necessary procedure for detecting diseases of the gastrointestinal tract. Other methods - ultrasound, CT or MRI does not give such an accurate picture of the gastrointestinal tract as endoscopic examination.
