What is ultrasound endoscopy? It is also a type of gastroscopy, and is also one of the more commonly used forms of gastroscopy. Today, we are going to give you a list of how the ultrasonic gastroscopy process works, so don't miss it if you are interested.

What is ultrasound endoscopy?

Ultrasound endoscopy is an ultrasound probe fixed at the head of the endoscope to form an ultrasound endoscope, which can handle chemical fiber gastroscopy and electronic device gastroscopy (these two gastroscopes can clearly view the gastric mucosal lesions, and can make a puncture biopsy to clarify the characteristics of the lesion) is more difficult to distinguish the deep layer of cancer, submucosal lesions, extrusion outside the gastric mucosa. The four layers of the gastric mucosa can be clearly identified with the immediate detection of ultrasound endoscopy. Therefore, the depth of disease infiltration and the layer reached can be indicated.

Let's take a look at the procedure of ultrasound endoscopy.

Procedure of ultrasonic endoscopy

Patients should have an empty stomach for 4 to 6 hours or more, and eat a dinner of easy-to-digest ingredients the day before the examination.

The examining physician must be flexible in using the actual operational technicalities of general gastrointestinal endoscopy and the actual operational key points of duodenoscopy, and have certain experience in working with epidermal ultrasound and expertise in ultrasound anatomy, and should master the medical history, the purpose of the examination, and whether there are any contraindications to endoscopy before the examination.

Explain to the patient the purpose of the examination, its importance, the risks involved and the matters to be noted for mutual cooperation in the examination to clear the patient's concerns. Sign the consent form before the procedure.

Medication: 15-30min before the procedure, take an expectorant; intramuscular injection of scopolamine 20mg; subcutaneous injection or delayed intravenous infusion of stable 5-10mg for nervous and anxious patients; upper gastrointestinal examination must contain lidocaine plasma local anesthesia and embolization.

Upper gastrointestinal ultrasound endoscopy general patient to take the left lying, lower limbs slightly curved, release the collar, release the pressure trouser belt, head slightly waiting to tilt; sigmoid colon ultrasound endoscopy, the procedure should be cleaned before the gastrointestinal advance preparation.

Operation procedure: After the ultrasound endoscope is inserted into the digestive system, immediate contact method, water bladder method and water bladder method combined with waterless gas flush filling method can be selected to carry out scanner examination of submucosal lesions, malignant tumors and adjacent visceral organs in the digestive tract. With the integration of multispectral, ultrasound endoscopy can also examine blood rate and volume and can indicate blood orientation.

The procedure of ultrasound endoscopy is subject to certain modifications depending on the circumstances.
