Performance Characteristics and Technical Outcomes of Single-use Gastroscopes Used Bedside Versus Reusable Gastroscopes Used in the Endoscopy Unit Evaluated in Subacute Patients

Recruiting now · Not applicable

Conditions studied: Upper Gastrointestinal Disorder

In brief

The aim of this study is to investigate whether single-use gastroscopes used bedside can reduce the time from indication to procedure compared with re-usable gastroscopes used at the endoscopy unit in patients referred to a subacute gastroscopy. Participants in the first period will be scheduled for gastroscopy with a re-usable gastroscope in the endoscopy unit, whereas participants during the second period will have a gastroscopy performed at the ward (bed-side) with a single-use gastroscope.
