Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
Comprehensive education group	Comprehensive education group	The details of Comprehensive education are as follows: 1. introduce the purpose, method and function of breathing training and the whole process of gastroscopy; 2. instruct patients to take deep breath training, inhaling with his/her nose and exhaling with his/her mouth, 3. provide patients with a disposable dental biting device and repeat exercising deep breathing again until he/she is fully mastered, 4. inform patients to cooperate with the instructions issued by endoscopist and endoscopy nurse during the whole process of gastroscopy, 5. inform patients to inhale with nose and exhale with mouth when the gastroscope passes through the throat, then he/she should perform inhaling and exhaling with his/her nose until the end of the gastroscopy when the endoscopist ask to adjust the breathing method, 6. inform patients that there would be some normal physiological reaction when gastroscopy, such as throat discomfort and nausea/vomiting.

Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Adverse reaction times in gastroscopy	1 day	research assistant records nausea/vomiting/retching times in the whole process of gastroscopy

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Patients' tolerance scores	1 day	At the end of the procedure, the patients were asked about the tolerance in the process of gastroscopy by using a 100-mm visual analogue scale. Tolerance includes the extent of pain and nausea. The endpoints were assigned "no nausea or no pain " to the left and "worst possible nausea or worst pain imaginable " to the right.
