It is done by means of a flexible video endoscope that is introduced through the throat.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How the test is performed?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You will be given a sedative and an analgesic (pain medicine). You should not feel any pain and you will not remember the procedure either. A local anesthetic may be sprayed into the mouth to inhibit coughing or nausea when the endoscope is inserted. To protect the teeth and endoscope, a mouth guard is inserted and removable dental prosthesis \u00a0must be removed.<\/p>\n<p>In most cases, an IV will be inserted into the arm to give you medications during the procedure.<\/p>\n<p>You will be asked to lie on the left side.<\/p>\n<p><strong>After the sedatives is in effect:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The endoscope is passed through the esophagus to the stomach and duodenum. Air is then introduced through the endoscope to make it easier for the doctor to see.<\/p>\n<p>\u2022 The lining of the esophagus, stomach, and upper duodenum is examined and biopsies (tissue samples seen under the microscope) can be taken through the endoscope.<br \/>\n\u2022 Different treatments may be performed, such as stretching or dilating a narrow area of \u200b\u200bthe esophagus.<\/p>\n<p>After the test is completed you will not be able to consume solids or liquids until the gag reflex returns.<\/p>\n<p>The exam lasts approximately 5 to 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>\n<\/div><div class=\"btClear btSeparator bottomSmallSpaced noBorder\" ><hr><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/section><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/endoscopiamerida.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1373"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/endoscopiamerida.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/endoscopiamerida.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/endoscopiamerida.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/endoscopiamerida.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1373"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/endoscopiamerida.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1373\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1624,"href":"https:\/\/endoscopiamerida.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/1373\/revisions\/1624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/endoscopiamerida.mx\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1373"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
