Endoscopy is recommended for the examination of the internal organs and vessels in a person’s body. Such as to determine the cause of abnormal symptoms like problem such as in the digestive system.
What is the purpose of endoscopy?
The main purpose behind endoscopy is investigation, confirmation, and treatment. Whichever method the doctor has employed to perform the endoscopy, the purpose is the same: investigate the digestive tract and diagnose evidence of a possible medical condition.
How is capsule endoscopy performed?
Capsule Endoscopy is usually performed on an outpatient basis. Eight sensors will be place on the patient's abdomen. The sensors will be attached to a Data Recorder that will be worn in a belt around the patient's waist. The patient will be instructed to swallow the Pill Cam with a small amount of water.
Endoscopy procedure
Before the procedure, the doctor will discuss with you why the procedure is being done, whether there are alternative procedures or tests, and what possible complications may result from the endoscopy. The patient may have the throat sprayed with a numbing solution and will probably be given sedating and pain alleviating medications through a vein. You will be relaxed after receiving this medication.
After you are sedated while lying on your left side the flexible video endoscope, the thickness of a small finger, is passed through the mouth into the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. Most people experience only minimal discomfort during the test, and many sleep throughout the entire procedure using conscious sedation.
What preparation does a patient require before the capsule endoscopy?
Tell your physician if you are pregnant, have a lung or heart condition, or if you are allergic to any medications. If you are taking blood-thinning medications may have to be stopped for a period of time before the endoscopy. Please discuss this with your physician prior to the procedure.
If you have diabetes and use insulin, you must adjust the dosage of insulin the day of the test. Your primary physician will help you with this adjustment. Bring your diabetes medication with you so you can take it after the procedure.
