Overview
The aim of this study is to investigate whether single-use gastroscopes used bedside can reduce the time from indication to procedure compared with re-usable gastroscopes used at the endoscopy unit in patients referred to a subacute gastroscopy. Participants in the first period will be scheduled for gastroscopy with a re-usable gastroscope in the endoscopy unit, whereas participants during the second period will have a gastroscopy performed at the ward (bed-side) with a single-use gastroscope.
Interventions
- Device Ambu aScope Gastro
CE-marked single-use gastroscopes from Ambu are used in the single-use group. - Device Diagnostic gastroscopes, Olympus
Reusable gastroscopes from Olympus are used in the reusable group.
Primary outcome measures
- Time from the indication/decision for early endoscopy to procedure [Time frame: From indication to procedure, up to two weeks]
Secondary outcome measures (12)
- Time from indication to the discharge [Time frame: From indication to discharge, up to 3 months]
- Time from procedure to discharge [Time frame: From procedure to discharge, up to 3 months]
- Duration of the procedure [Time frame: During the procedure]
- Did the patient need sedation or local anesthetic throat spray [Time frame: During the procedure]
- Technical success [Time frame: From admission to discharge, up to 3 months]
- Sufficient ability to target the biopsy if taken [Time frame: During the procedure]
- Complications to gastroscopy [Time frame: 24 and 72 hour follow-up after procedure]
- 30th day mortality [Time frame: 30 days]
- Readmission [Time frame: 30 days after procedure]
- The necessity for a new gastroscopy, including the reasons justifying it [Time frame: During admission, up to 3 months]
- Endoscopists' rating of the gastroscope [Time frame: Right after procedure]
- Learning curve for nurses at the surgical department [Time frame: During the second period (one year)]
