The stomach must be empty during the preparation for endoscopy. Therefore, eating and drinking should be stopped up to eight hours before the endoscopy.
All medications used before the endoscopy procedure should be reported to the gastroenterologist. Blood thinners should be stopped a few days before the endoscopy procedure as they may cause bleeding.
The gastroenterologist will provide necessary guidance for individuals with chronic diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, or high blood pressure.
Sedation methods are used before the procedure to ensure the patient does not experience pain or discomfort during the endoscopy. Therefore, it is important for someone to be present to assist the patient after the procedure.
Before the endoscopy, the patient is turned onto their left side with their head turned 90 degrees. If necessary, electrodes may be attached to the body to monitor the patient's breathing, blood pressure, and heart rate.
