Can chewing gum during prepration of egd and colonoscopy effect test in anyway?
Chewing gum before an esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) and colonoscopy can affect the tests. It may stimulate saliva production and gastric secretions, potentially leading to false results during the EGD. For colonoscopy, chewing gum could result in residual food or air in the digestive tract, complicating visualization. Therefore, it's generally advised to avoid chewing gum before these procedures.

What are the inherent dangers of the endoscopy procedure for octogenarians?
It's a upper endoscopy or EGD (esophageal, gastric, duodenum) It uses a scope that goes down from the mouth, sees the esophagus, then the stomach and gets into the first few inches of the duodenum. With people who are older most tests have more risks. I would say sedation, is the main risk. Because (not very often) you have trouble waking up. But you get a lighter sedation but still have no pain. I have a EGD & colonoscopy every three months since I was 28 y/o. And it's never been painful or dangerous. And I'm no where near 28 any more.
