Upper GI Endoscopy
अपर जीआई एंडोस्कोपी (दूरबीन जांच)

अपर जीआई एंडोस्कोपी (Upper GI Endoscopy) एक ऐसी जांच है जिसमें एक पतली, लचीली ट्यूब (एंडोस्कोप) के जरिए आपके भोजन की नली (food pipe), पेट (stomach) और छोटी आंत के शुरुआती हिस्से (duodenum) के अंदरूनी हिस्से को सीधे कैमरे पर देखा जाता है। यह जांच पेट दर्द, उल्टी, एसिडिटी, निगलने में कठिनाई और छाती में जलन के सही कारणों का पता लगाने के लिए की जाती है।

Expert Advice

Understanding the Clinical Value of Upper GI Endoscopy

Dr. Akhilesh Yadav recommends Upper GI Endoscopy to visualize tissue lining directly. Unlike CT scans, it allows taking painless tissue samples (biopsy) to test for H. pylori infection, celiac disease, or early cancer.

Important checklist parameters before your scheduled procedure.

Step-by-Step

प्रक्रिया के दौरान क्या होता है?

Walkthrough of the clinical steps taken during a Upper GI Endoscopy procedure.

01

Pre-op Preparation

Your vitals are monitored. A local anesthetic spray is applied to the back of your throat to prevent gagging, and an IV line is placed.

02

Sedation Administration

A short-acting sedative is given through the IV line. You will fall into a light, comfortable sleep within seconds.

03

Scope Insertion

Dr. Yadav gently guides the flexible endoscope down your food pipe into the stomach. Air is inflated to expand the organs for a clear view.

04

Inspection & Biopsy

High-definition cameras display the mucosal lining on a monitor. Biopsies or therapeutic interventions (like closing bleeding points) are completed.

Post-Procedure Care

रिकवरी और सावधानियां — Recovery Guide

What to expect and how to care for yourself after a Upper GI Endoscopy procedure.

What to Expect

You will rest in the daycare ward until the sedative wears off (typically 30-45 minutes). A mild throat numbness or gas bloating is normal and resolves quickly.

When to Return Home

You are allowed to go home 1.5 to 2 hours after the procedure, once you are fully awake.

Diet Guidelines

You can start drinking sips of water after the throat spray effect fades (about 45 minutes). Resume a soft diet today, and a normal diet tomorrow.

Physical Activity

Do not drive, operate machinery, or sign legal documents for 24 hours post-sedation.

Please seek immediate medical attention or visit the emergency ward at Orchid Medical Centre if you experience any of the following symptoms:

Vomiting blood or dark black fluid
