Hello,
With the question “What should hypertensive patients prepare for gastrointestinal endoscopy for anesthesia? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Gastrointestinal endoscopy is the common name for gastroscopy - duodenum - colon - rectum. This is the most modern method to help detect digestive lesions accurately. In particular, gastrointestinal endoscopy can help detect dangerous diseases related to the digestive system such as stomach cancer, rectal cancer, colon cancer, duodenal cancer, etc. appropriate treatment for the patient.
Gastrointestinal endoscopy patients need to fast. In the case of colorectal endoscopy, they will guide the enema before the endoscopy. If performed at Vinmec, patients are usually deeply sedated under control, in case your husband has high blood pressure, depending on the level of your blood pressure, the doctor will recommend an appropriate method.
If you still have questions about gastrointestinal endoscopy, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
