This continuously measures pulse, blood pressure and oxygen saturation. You are then placed on your left side and a mouthpiece is inserted between your teeth. Before and during the examination, you will be given a sleeping pill in an appropriate dosage. You will therefore not notice anything of the examination itself. If you wish, the sleeping pill can also be dispensed with. In this case, you will be given an anesthetic spray for the throat. This should help you to relax and suppress the gag reflex. The endoscope is carefully inserted into the digestive tract via the mouthpiece. You can breathe and swallow normally during the examination. The examination usually takes 10 to 15 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row use_custom_gutter=&#8221;on&#8221; make_equal=&#8221;on&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||40px||false|false&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;0px||0px||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;4_4&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.25.0&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; background_color=&#8221;#EFF0F0&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;50px|50px|50px|50px|true|true&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;50px|50px|50px|50px|true|true&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;30px|30px|30px|30px|true|true&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;bottom&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; border_radii=&#8221;on|50px|50px|50px|50px&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#AACBD0&#8243; border_width_bottom=&#8221;8px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.24.3&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; text_font=&#8221;Rob Reg||||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#3A4E55&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;18px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;180%&#8221; header_font=&#8221;Rob Sem||||||||&#8221; header_text_align=&#8221;center&#8221; header_text_color=&#8221;#668996&#8243; header_line_height=&#8221;2em&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;Rob Sem||||||||&#8221; header_2_text_color=&#8221;#668996&#8243; header_2_font_size=&#8221;34px&#8221; header_2_line_height=&#8221;2em&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;Rob Sem||||||||&#8221; header_3_text_color=&#8221;#717575&#8243; header_3_font_size=&#8221;24px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; header_4_font=&#8221;Rob Reg||||||||&#8221; header_4_text_color=&#8221;#F49915&#8243; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; animation_style=&#8221;fade&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<h3>What are the risks of an EGDE?<\/h3>\n<p>An OGD is a safe and gentle examination that rarely leads to complications.
