Endoscopy With Short Fasting (safendoscopy)

December 12, 2011 updated by: Fernando Fornari, Universidade de Passo Fundo

Safety, Quality and Comfort of Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy With Conscious Sedation After Fasting for Two Hours

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is widely used in the clinical practice. An empty stomach is required to ensure quality and safety. For this reason, endoscopy is conventionally performed after 8 or more hours of fasting, which is potentially related to discomfort to the patients. In recent studies, surgical cholecystectomy has been described to be safe after two hours of fasting on liquids. The aim of this study is to assess safety, quality and comfort of upper GI endoscopy after two hours of fasting.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
safety
Time Frame: 10 min (endoscopy duration)
safety of endoscopy after fasting for two hours will be assessed by means of a questionnaire replied by the endoscopists, questioning occurrence of aspiration and regurgitation of gastric contents into the esophagus.
10 min (endoscopy duration)

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
quality
Time Frame: 10 min (endoscopy duration)
Quality of endoscopy will be assessed by means of a questionnaire replied by the endoscopists, including (1) presence of liquid in the gastric lumen (2) quality of mucosa visualization (3)period needed for gastric aspiration
10 min (endoscopy duration)
Endoscopy comfort
Time Frame: 8 hours
Endoscopy comfort will be evaluated by the patients by means of a questionnaire replied after the procedures. It will include questions about thirst, hunger, anxiety, weakness and nausea.
