How Upper GI Endoscopy in children (Upper GI ± Biopsy) is performed
Pediatric upper gastrointestinal endoscopy is often performed under sedation or general anesthesia. A pediatric-sized endoscope is inserted through the mouth to observe the mucosa of the esophagus, stomach, and proximal small intestine. The common practice is to slowly advance the endoscope under monitoring, taking small biopsies or performing rapid tests when necessary. Hemostasis, foreign body removal, and other treatments can be performed simultaneously (if applicable). After the examination, the patient is transferred to the recovery area to monitor breathing, circulation, and discomfort, with the goal of assessing mucosal inflammation and related causes. The above is general health information, not medical advice; specific information should be based on specialist evaluation and hospital protocols.
