Official title: Safety, Quality and Comfort of Upper Gastrointestinal Endoscopy With Conscious Sedation After Fasting for Two Hours

Status Completed

Clinical Trial Summary

Upper gastrointestinal (GI) endoscopy is widely used in the clinical practice. An empty stomach is required to ensure quality and safety. For this reason, endoscopy is conventionally performed after 8 or more hours of fasting, which is potentially related to discomfort to the patients. In recent studies, surgical cholecystectomy has been described to be safe after two hours of fasting on liquids. The aim of this study is to assess safety, quality and comfort of upper GI endoscopy after two hours of fasting.
