About EUS (endoscopic ultrasound). An EUS, or endoscopic ultrasound, is an outpatient procedure used to closely examine the tissues in the digestive tract. The procedure is done using a standard endoscope and a tiny ultrasound device.The ultrasound sensor sends back visual images of the digestive tract to a screen, allowing the physician to see deeper into the tissues and the organs beneath the surface of the intestines.. In general, an EUS is a very safe procedure. If your procedure is being done on the upper GI tract, you may have a sore throat for a few days. As a result of the sedation, you should not drive, operate heavy machinery or make any important decisions for up to six hours following the procedure.
