Pediatric Unsedated Transnasal Endoscopy
Unsedated transnasal endoscopy (TNE) is a feasible, safe, and cost-effective procedure for pediatric patients. TNE provides direct visualization of the esophagus and enables acquisition of biopsy samples while eliminating the risks associated with sedation and anesthesia. TNE should be considered in the evaluation and monitoring of disorders of the upper gastrointestinal tract, particularly in diseases such as eosinophilic esophagitis that often require repeated endoscopy. Setting up a TNE program requires a thorough business plan as well as training of staff and endoscopists.
