Brief Summary
The application of conventional endoscopy in remote and outdoor areas lacking facilities remains challenges. Thus, the investigators developed a novel portable upper gastrointestinal endoscopy system that has the same functions as conventional endoscopy. A total of 24 participants from a medical unit on a remote island in China underwent endoscopy with the portable system between March and June 2021. The portable system packed into a suitcase is 68 × 42 × 32 cm in size, weighing less than 35 kg, and comprises a disposable sheathed system.

a novel portable upper gastrointestinal endoscopy system
EXPERIMENTALInterventions
Patients arrived at the hospital in the morning after an overnight fast (\>6 hours). The patients took oral dyclonine glue 15 mins before their examination. The doctors prepared the portable endoscopy system so that it was in working status and the disposable sheathed system was placed on the endoscope optical probe.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Patients who underwent endoscopy examination with the portable system were aged from 18-70 years and presented with upper abdominal complaints.
