with the alarming signs:– Age > 50– Weight loss– Anemia– Vomiting– Family history of upper gastrointestinal malignancy
• Those refractory to therapy• Surveillance for Barrett's esophagus• Long standing reflux symptoms
![Page 4: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Contraindications
• Hemodynamic unstable patient that need resuscitation before endoscopy
• Hopoxia • Cardiac arrhythmia• Esophageal perforation
![Page 5: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Precaution
• Patients with unstable airway or respiratory failure need tracheal intubation before endoscopy
• Check for hypoxia during the procedure and titrate the supplemental oxygen to avoid hypoxia
• Patients with massive bleeding with risk of aspiration need tracheal intubation before endoscopy
![Page 6: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Precaution
• Patients with cardiac instability need proper management before endoscopy
• Check for arrhythmia during the procedure and terminate the procedure immediately if significant tachy or brady arrhythmias arise
• Patients suspected for esophageal perforation (with foreign body swallowing or corrosive esophagitis) need CXR and contrast radiography for detection of possible perforation before endoscopy
![Page 7: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Timing of endoscopy
• Emergent endoscopy is preferred in patients with ongoing (active) severe bleeding– Fresh blood on gastric washing– Orthostatic hypotension in spite of proper
resuscitation– Melena perse or coffee ground in gastric washing
is not a sign of active bleeding • Elective endoscopy is preferred when no sign
of ongoing bleeding exist
![Page 8: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Preparing the patient
• The risks and benefits of the procedure should be offered to the patient and written informed consent should be taken before the procedure
• The patient should be examined before the procedure for the evaluation of:– Vital signs– Existence of wheezing in lungs that need
bronchodilator before the procedure– Signs of esophageal perforation (pnumothorax and
subcutaneous emphysema)
![Page 9: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Preparing the patient
• Check for hypoxia by pulse oximetery• Use supplemental nasal oxygen for patient with
O2 saturation < 90%• Check for false teeth or any foreign body in
mouth and remove them before the procedure– Secretions in mouth should be suctioned and loose
teeth should be removed to reduce the risk of aspiration
• Insert appropriate airway device
![Page 10: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Preparing the patient
• Check for the I.V. lines• Position the patient on left lateral decubitus• Sedate the patient with midazolame infusion
![Page 11: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Checking the endoscopy unit
• Check the light source of scope • Perform white balance for getting the optimal
light• Check for the air pump for appropriate air
insufflation• Check the water tank and appropriate water
spray• Check for the power of suction
![Page 12: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Endoscopy procedure
• Check for the locks on endoscope and ensure that the tip of scope can move freely
• Lubricate the end of scope with appropriate gel to facilitate the passage of scope through the pharynx
• To reduce the risk of aspiration of the gel, the amount of gel should not be too much to suspense from the tip of scope
• Do not insert gel near to the end of scope to avoid covering the lens
![Page 13: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Endoscopy procedure
• Insert the scope in the mouth and move it toward the uvula watching the palate
• Find the pyriform recess and insert the scope carefully to the esophagus
• Do not use the blind approach to reduce the risk of perforation
• Move the scope down and air insufflate to open the esophagus
![Page 14: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Endoscopy procedure
• Mention to any mucosal abnormality or strictures and obtain biopsy for the evaluation of malignancy
• Identify glycogenic acanthosis and inlet patch that do not have risk of malignancy
• Watch for white plaques that indicate candidiasis• The possible web or ring in esophagus should be
mentioned• Check for the possible esophageal varices in distal part – Describe the size– Notice to the signs of bleeding tendency (red wale sign)
![Page 15: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Endoscopy procedure• Observe the Z line in distal esophagus• Pay special attention to the possible mucosal breaks in
distal esophagus before entering the stomach, since traumatizing the mucosa by the scope might cause false breaks
• Observe for the length of salmon color appearance in distal esophagus
• The salmon color appearance in distal esophagus is indicative of columnar epithelium
• If the length of salmon color appearing part is > 3 cm, obtain 4 quadrant biopsies from it for the detection of possible Barrett's esophagus
![Page 16: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Endoscopy procedure
• Move the scope upward and right to reach the pylorus
• Insufflate air to inflate the stomach and watch for mucosal abnormalities carefully
• To observe the cardia and the lesser curvature, retroflex the scope and withdraw the scope to reach the cardia
• Check for the hiatal hernia in retroflexion maneuver
![Page 17: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Endoscopy procedure
• Check for any evidence of mucosal edema (snake skin appearance, cobble stoning) in stomach
• Check for the erosions and ulcers– Define the location– Define the size– Stigmata of bleeding
• Check for submucosal lesions and polyps• Check for any evidence of vascular malformations
suspicious as a source of bleeding
![Page 18: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Endoscopy procedure• It is better to approach from the base of antrum for passing
through the pylorus and entering the duodenum• Check the bulb for the signs of duodenitis (snake skin appearance)
or ulcer• The scope should move upward and right for reaching to the
second part of duodenum• Check for any signs of malabsorption in D2 (scalloping) • Obtain biopsy from any suspicious lesion in D2 for evaluation of
malabsorption• If the mucosa seemed normal, Obtain 4 quadrant biopsy for
evaluation of malabsorption• Check for Periampullary diverticula • Check for Hemobilia
![Page 19: Preliminary training course on diagnostic upper gastrointestinal endoscopy](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022062408/5681351a550346895d9c6fdb/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Check for the possible complications
• Check for chest pain, diaphoresis, and fatigue after the procedure that might indicate ischemic heart disease
• In case of dyspnea, examine the lungs to check for aspiration
• Check for chest pain, subcutaneous, emphysema and respiratory distress after the procedure that might indicate perforation

Endoscopy report• To localize the lesions in stomach you should find
the incisura angularis as an important marker.• If the lesions are between the incisura angularis
and pylorus they are located in antrum.• If the lesions are above the incisura angularis
they are located in body.• The area about 2-3 cm around the
esophagogastric junction is cardia.• The fundus is considered as the portion of the
stomach that lies above the cardiac notch.
