This study asks patients like you to share their experience about using a single-use gastroscope during an elective or subacute upper endoscopy. Your feedback will help doctors understand how these disposable scopes work in everyday practice.
This trial tests a single-use gastroscope used at the bedside versus the standard reusable gastroscope used in the endoscopy unit. It aims to see if the bedside scope works as well for patients who are already in the hospital and need an upper endoscopy without general anesthesia.
This trial compares a single-use scope to a reusable one for people with bile duct or pancreatic duct problems. It aims to see if the single-use scope works as well and may reduce infection risk.
This study tests a special aspiration (suction) catheter used during an upper GI endoscopy to see how well it works during routine care. It may help doctors improve how they clear fluid or residue during the procedure.
This study compares using an ultrasound before a gastroscopy (a tube with a camera to look inside your stomach) with the usual method of suctioning stomach contents. It aims to see if ultrasound can predict what is in the stomach, which may help make the procedure safer and more comfortable.
This study tests whether watching relaxing or entertaining videos before doing gastroscopies (a procedure to look inside the stomach) helps doctors perform better. If you're a gastroenterologist or surgeon, you might be eligible to join.
