What to pay attention to before gastroscopy

Before gastroscopy, we should pay attention to keep relaxed, fasting and clear contraindications.

1. Keep relaxed

gastroscopy and enteroscopy are invasive examinations. Before examination, we should try our best to keep the body in a relaxed state to prevent esophageal and intestinal muscles from being too tense to increase the difficulty of examination.

2.

Gastroscopy and enteroscopy on an empty stomach are examinations to observe whether there are lesions in gastrointestinal mucosa by using fiberscope. Before examination, we should keep fasting to prevent the observation effect from being affected or causing vomiting, diarrhea and other symptoms.

3. Clear contraindications

Before examination, we should make clear contraindications to ensure that there are no coagulation abnormalities, severe arrhythmias, respiratory failure and other conditions.
