Transnasal gastroscopy, a new endoscopic procedure, was evaluated in Denmark. The study found it well-tolerated, with better patient comfort and fewer gag reflexes than traditional gastroscopy.

Area of Science:

Gastroenterology
Endoscopy

Context:

Transnasal endoscopy has not been previously reported in Denmark.
This study introduces the Olympus XGIF-N200 prototype for transnasal gastroscopy.

Purpose:

To describe the preliminary experiences and patient tolerance of transnasal gastroscopy in a Danish cohort.
To compare subjective and objective outcomes of transnasal versus conventional gastroscopy.

Summary:

Sixty patients were scheduled for diagnostic gastroscopy; 56 (93%) underwent the transnasal procedure.
Most procedures were unsedated (68%), with reduced gag reflexes (55%) and described discomfort as 'slightly uncomfortable'.
Uncomplicated epistaxis occurred in 25% of patients; vital signs remained stable.

Impact:
