She is a medical diagnostic procedure, during which you can perform many different manipulations:

1. the identification of the causes of the existing symptoms;
2. sighting the consideration of the damaged areas of the body wall;

10. therapy narrowing of the esophagus;
11. determination of the level of acidity of the stomach environment (pH-metry).

If the duodenum does not need the examinations, there shall be a stomach FGS (fibrogastroscopy).

Contraindications

Despite the safety and high effectiveness of EGD, there are situations where its conduct is prohibited:

• bronchial asthma (BA) in severe form;
• an asthma exacerbation mild and moderate;

The procedure is considered quite a serious medical manipulation. Many patients are afraid of the upcoming survey. During the appointment the doctor should explain how to prepare for EGD of the stomach. Depends on the performance of the study and the absence of unpleasant situations (occurrence of vomiting).

Preparations for the diagnosis of the stomach includes the following rules:

2. dinner on the eve of the day of the survey should consist of easily digestible foods (buckwheat porridge with chicken or fish soup);
3. quitting Smoking before the procedure EGD;
4. the reception of light sedatives before going to sleep (emotional patients experiencing fear of the future research);
5. rejection medication in the morning before fibroscopie;
6. psychological preparation of the physician (an explanation of safety and the need for);
7. the observance of a certain diet for 2 days;

Children are more difficult to resolve thirst. Therefore, if a child wanted to drink it directly before the examination, you need to let him rinse his mouth with cool water, but avoid swallowing.

A few days before fibroscopie is assigned a certain diet. The preparation involves the refusal on 2 days off hard, hard to digest foods (nuts, seeds, chocolate, fat, smoked, spicy foods) and any alcohol.

Similar measures have been taken and before the FGS, which, in essence, no different from the EGD in the first case, the duodenum is not involved in the survey process.

Description EGD

The study is conducted in a dedicated diagnostic room. Algorithm procedures EGD and FGS is quite simple. The patient lies on a couch on your left side. In the mouth it is inserted into a special cap that prevents interdigitation. Then produced analgesia: local or General anesthesia short-acting. The last method of anesthesia is used if fibroscopy is restless child, people with mental disabilities, experiencing a panic fear of fibroscopie.

In the oral cavity, the doctor inserts a flexible endoscope, it gradually pushes via the esophagus into the stomach and the duodenum, by studying the condition of the inner wall of these bodies. The resulting image is displayed on the monitor. Optionally, snapshots of areas, affected by the pathological process takes the samples of cellular material for biopsy, hemostasis, introduction of medicines removal of polyps and other therapeutic measures, which allows to carry out a gastroscopy.

The whole procedure lasts from 10 to 30 minutes, depending on the number of the produced manipulations. Upon completion of the survey of the endoscopic probe is removed. If the patient was performed local anesthesia, immediately after it can be released. The use of anesthesia, he was transferred to the ward before the expiration of drugs.
