 Nowadays, in normal medical practice, esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) is performed more frequently than ever before due to the introduction of gastric cancer screening and other factors. However, there is an increase in the number of high-risk patients taking multiple medications, including antithrombotic agents, owing to an increase in the number of elderly patients and patients with underlying diseases. This has increased the importance of interview and informed consent prior to performing EGD. According to a nationwide survey conducted by the Japanese Society of Gastroenterological Endoscopy, bleeding is the most common complication during EGD. Therefore, it is necessary to explain the possibility of bleeding not only to high-risk patients taking antithrombotic drugs but to all patients in an easy-to-understand manner before the procedure. In the unfortunate event of complication, prompt action and adequate explanation are important. The intervention of a medical mediator may be helpful in situations where trouble is likely to occur. While it is natural to take precautions to prevent complications from occurring, it is also necessary to be prepared for troubleshooting on a daily basis, including by simulating potential complications, and to build a relationship of trust with patients.
