Highlights

● A variety of digestive endoscopy auxiliary methods can provide substantial benefits in diagnosis and patient care.

● Certain techniques can successfully lessen anesthetic-related issues, alleviate patient discomfort during diagnosis and treatment, and increase public acceptability of endoscopic examination.

Abstract

In recent years, the importance of endoscopic procedures has risen significantly in response to the escalating prevalence of digestive system diseases. The gastroenteroscopic technique has undergone several iteration and updates; however, challenges related to patient pain remain an ongoing concern. As a result, patients satisfaction with this examination method is still low. Based on this, research has been focusing on assistive technologies that work with endoscopy to increase patient tolerance. The technologies listed in this review inculde sedation, acupoint stimulation, recumbent changes, gas-filled assistance, warm water infusion assistance, and distraction.

Keywords: Gastrointestinal endoscopy, sedation, external therapy, gas insufflation, water infusion
