Camera Down Your Throat Dmg

Jul 14, 2009 Re: Gastric Reflux and the camera they put up your nose, down throat. I've had it done a few times for acid reflux which was burning my throat. They spray something up there to numb it and putt he camera there. It takes maybe 30 seconds not even for the dr to finish and it really only burns a little in the nose area. Mar 09, 2018 It is about as thick as a little finger. The endoscope is passed through the mouth, into the oesophagus and down towards the stomach and duodenum. The tip of the endoscope contains a light and a tiny video camera so the operator can see inside your gut. The endoscope also has a side channel down which various instruments can pass.

May 24, 2000 -- With all the hype about the marvels of wireless communications, here's news of wireless technology that isn't too hard to swallow. Researchers from the UK and Israel have developed a vitamin pill-sized, wireless video camera that can be swallowed and will transmit high-quality images of the insides of the stomach and intestines as its makes its journey from the mouth to parts beyond. The technology is described in the May 25 issue of the journal Nature.

When patients are having stomach or bowel problems, they must often undergo uncomfortable imaging procedures for their doctors to determine the cause of the problem. Standard techniques for getting good video images of the stomach or bowels involve a flexible tube carrying a light and a miniature camera on its tip that is passed down through the throat (gastroscopy, for viewing the stomach) or up through the rectum (colonoscopy, for viewing the large bowel, or endoscopy, for viewing the small bowel).

But because of the twists and turns in the digestive tract, it is often hard for doctors to snake the tubes around bends, and they frequently have to puff in jets of air to help the camera get through narrow passages. The procedure causes so much discomfort that it is usually performed with the patient under sedation or anesthesia.

In contrast, healthy human volunteers had no trouble swallowing the so-called wireless endoscopy capsules and did not experience any stomach problems, the researchers report. The capsules, which are pushed along through the stomach and intestines by the same mechanism that transports food, transmitted high-quality video images for up to six hours from the stomach, small bowel, and cecum (a pouch located in the colon). The camera passed through the stomach in an average of 80 minutes and through the small bowel in about 90 minutes, and was out of the body in 10 to 48 hours.

The new device, if approved by the FDA, promises to free many patients from the discomfort and limitations of small-bowel imaging, and to allow them to continue daily activities while the camera works its way through the system, possibly eliminating the need for traditional stomach- and bowel-imaging techniques, say Paul Swain, PhD, and colleagues from the Royal London Hospital and Given Imaging Ltd. in Yoqneam, Israel.

Care Notes

Inpatient Care

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

A transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) is a procedure used to check for problems with your heart. It will also show any problems in the blood vessels near your heart. Sound waves are sent to the heart through a tube inserted into your throat. The sound waves show the structure and function of your heart through pictures on a monitor.

WHILE YOU ARE HERE:

Before your procedure:

Informed consent is a legal document that explains the tests, treatments, or procedures that you may need. Informed consent means you understand what will be done and can make decisions about what you want. You give your permission when you sign the consent form. You can have someone sign this form for you if you are not able to sign it. You have the right to understand your medical care in words you know. Before you sign the consent form, understand the risks and benefits of what will be done. Make sure all your questions are answered.
An IV is a small tube placed in your vein that is used to give you medicine or liquids.
Anesthesia is medicine to make you comfortable during the surgery. It will be sprayed in your throat and you may need to gargle it. You will also be given medicine through your IV to help keep you calm and relaxed. You may still feel pressure or pushing during surgery.

During your procedure:

You will lie down with your chin bent down to touch your chest. A mouthguard will be put into your mouth. The mouthguard keeps you from biting down on the tools that are put into your mouth.
An ultrasound probe will be put into your mouth and down your throat. The probe is a long, thin, bendable tube with a transducer on the end. You may be asked to swallow several times as it is moved down your throat. The transducer is a small transmitter that sends sound waves to your heart. The sound waves can travel around your heart so pictures of your heart will show up clearly. The TEE usually takes less than 45 minutes.

After your procedure:

You will be taken to a room to rest until you are fully awake. You will be monitored closely for any problems. Do not get out of bed until your healthcare provider says it is okay. You will then be able to go home or be taken to your hospital room.

RISKS:

You may have trouble breathing or an irregular heartbeat. Your esophagus or trachea may tear. Your blood pressure may go too high or too low.

CARE AGREEMENT:

You have the right to help plan your care. Learn about your health condition and how it may be treated. Discuss treatment options with your healthcare providers to decide what care you want to receive. You always have the right to refuse treatment.
