Painless gastroscopy requires anesthesia, so the patient is unconscious and generally not in pain.
Painless gastroscopy generally refers to painless gastroscopy, which is based on ordinary gastroscopy, in which a certain dose of anesthetics is given to the patient intravenously to help him/her quickly enter a state of sedation and sleep, so that the patient can complete the gastroscopy in an unconscious state of general anesthesia and wake up quickly after the examination.
Painless gastroscopy is mainly used for diagnosis and treatment of upper gastrointestinal tract, such as diagnosing esophagitis, esophageal cancer, gastritis, peptic ulcer and other diseases, as well as carrying out resection of early gastrointestinal tumors, upper gastrointestinal hemostasis and other treatments.
Compared with ordinary gastroscopy, the comfort of patients during painless gastroscopy is significantly improved, while patients will not suffer from violent vomiting under anesthesia, so the operator can better complete the gastroscopy.
It should be noted that patients with organ failure or mental disorder should not undergo this examination. If you want to have a painless gastroscopy, it is recommended that you communicate with your doctor, and after an evaluation, it will be clear whether anesthesia can be performed or not.
