Capsule Endoscopy examines the lining of the middle part of your gastrointestinal tract, which includes the three portions of the small intestine. For this, Dr. Tripuraneni gives a pill sized video camera to the patient for swallowing. This camera has its own light source and takes pictures of the small intestine as it passes through. These pictures are sent to a small recording device that a patient wears on his body. After that, Krishna will be able to view these pictures at a later time and might be able to provide useful information regarding small intestine.
Consequently, Krishna Tripuraneni has got the specialization in diagnosing the small intestine. He provides proper medications to the patients very wisely as it involves those medications also, which are sedative. These sedatives can cause complications to the patients. Even he also adds that the most common reason for doing capsule endoscopy is to search for a cause of bleeding from the small intestine. He assured the preparation for capsule endoscopy that an empty stomach allows for the best and safest examination, so the patient should have nothing to eat or drink, including water for approximately twelve hours before the examination. Doctors will say to the patient when to start fasting.
Krishna Tripuraneni emphasized that although complications can occur. But they are rare when doctors who are specially trained and experienced in this procedure perform the test. It’s important to recognize obstruction early. Signs of obstruction include unusual bloating, abdominal pain, nausea or vomiting. One should call a doctor immediately for any such concerns. Also, if there is the symptom of a fever after the test, have trouble swallowing or experience chest pain, consult the doctor immediately. Be careful not to prematurely disconnect the system as this may result in loss of pictures being sent to a recording device.
