Painless gastroscopy is relative to general gastroscopy, which refers to the implementation of anesthesia by the doctor to the patient before doing gastroscopy, which can reduce the examination time and also reduce the pain of the patient painless. Previously, the painful reactions during gastroscopy often discouraged patients, who were afraid of the examination and missed the best time for treatment. Even if patients reluctantly underwent the examination, the painful sensation was haunting.
Now, with the new technology of painless gastroscopy, anesthesiologists use a new type of anesthetic drug to allow patients to safely undergo gastroscopy in a short sleep state, without any discomfort or adverse sequelae, and they can wake up soon after the examination. Moreover, many diseases that require surgical treatment can be treated under gastroscopy, i.e. avoiding the pain of surgery and saving medical costs and shortening the treatment time.
