How green is your endoscopy? study tracks carbon cost of stomach scopes
NCT ID NCT07261228
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This observational study measures the carbon footprint produced during upper GI endoscopy in 75 patients with either dyspepsia (diagnostic scope) or non-variceal upper GI bleeding (therapeutic scope). Researchers track emissions from when a patient enters the endoscopy room until they leave. The goal is to compare environmental impact between diagnostic and therapeutic procedures and across different bleeding-control techniques.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
What this could lead to
If successful, this study could help hospitals understand and reduce the environmental impact of common endoscopic procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small observational study (75 participants) that only measures carbon footprint during the procedure, not overall healthcare impact. Results may not apply to other settings.
