What is gastrointestinal test?

Gastrointestinal testing in Sebastian itself usually takes about 30 minutes, but it may take longer if a polyp is found and removed. Before the Gastrointestinal testing in Sebastian begins, you will be given a sedating medicine (into a vein) to make you feel comfortable and sleepy during the procedure.

For most people, this medicine leads to them being unaware of what is going on and unable to remember the procedure afterward. You will wake up after the test is over, but might not be fully awake until later in the day. During the Gastrointestinal testing in Sebastian, you will be asked by the Colon doctor to lie on your side with your knees flexed and a drape will cover you. Your blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing rate will be monitored during and after the test.
