Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The aim of this study is to investigate whether single-use gastroscopes used bedside can reduce the time from indication to procedure compared with re-usable gastroscopes used at the endoscopy unit in patients referred to a subacute gastroscopy.

Participants in the first period will be scheduled for gastroscopy with a re-usable gastroscope in the endoscopy unit, whereas participants during the second period will have a gastroscopy performed at the ward (bed-side) with a single-use gastroscope.
