It is used to reveal the causes of diseases such as infections. 
In fact, there are no very important things to do before Gastroscopy. Before gastroscopy, about 8 hours of fasting is sufficient for us.
If the patient is going to undergo gastroscopy as the first case in the morning, we recommend that he not eat or drink anything after 12 at night. However, the first thing that is important here is if the patient has any other disease.
If he is using a blood thinner, if something is to be treated during the procedure, for example, if a polyp is to be removed, if an early stage tumor, which we call mucosectomy, is to be removed from this patient, blood thinners, aspirin, blood thinner injections under the skin, blood thinner pills called coumadin should be taken at a minimum by consulting the doctor. It needs to be cut 5 days in advance.
And the accompanying serious ailments must be shared with the patient who will perform the procedure before the procedure. Before we start the procedure, we apply to the patient not only to do this procedure, but also by talking about other accompanying problems.
Gastroscopy is not a very fearful procedure, as is believed among the people. It can be done in two ways. It is done by putting a patient to sleep. It can also be done without sleeping, according to the patient’s request or the physician’s preference.
Before the gastroscopy procedure, the technician or nurse friend or anesthesiologist in the team that will perform the procedure opens an vascular access to the patient and after the vascular access is established, the patient is monitored after the patient is placed on the table you see in the left lateral position.
In other words, when needles are given to relieve the patient during the procedure, there is a monitor that will control the patient’s blood pressure, heart rate, and oxygen status in the body.
As you can see, the Gastroscopy device is a light device with a small micro-camera on the end that develops as technology develops, which is flexible, thin and easy to swallow. Patients sometimes ask us, sir, I have had gastroscopy a few times, is it harmful?
There is no harm in gastroscopy. Radiation concerns. Please note that gastroscopy and radiation have nothing to do with it.
During the gastroscopic examination, we usually examine the esophagus, stomach and duodenum and try to detect the existing diseases in these regions.
