Study Overview
Brief Summary
Evaluation of patients safety and comfort in nasal endoscopy.
Detailed Description
Introduction
Numerous indications require regular outpatient upper gastrointestinal endoscopy (EGD). In most cases, peroral gastroscopy is performed. The aim of this study was to evaluate the necessity and outpatients' demand for transnasal gastroscopy (nEGD).
Methods: A questionnaire was used to assess patients' choice of method, previous experience, psychological and sociodemographic data. Furthermore, the patients' satisfaction with and potentially perceived discomfort during the examination as well as their preference for a method with regard to future examinations was evaluated.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Patients satisfaction (pain, discomfort, experience)
Time Frame: During Endoscopy procedure
Satisfaction with the procedure: * not at all * hardly * moderately * quite * extraordinarily (extraordinarily = the best possible outcome, not at all = the worst possible outcome)
Secondary Outcomes

- Pain during the procedure(During Endoscopy procedure)
