emergency endoscopy

After basic life support all patients had emergency endoscopy.

Emergency endoscopy is the most effective method of diagnosing the disease.

For these patients, we performed an emergency endoscopy.

At present the preferred diagnostic procedure is emergency endoscopy.

Nineteen patients (68%) were actively bleeding during emergency endoscopy.

The findings from 480 patients who had emergency endoscopy for acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding of non-variceal origin at our institution were analysed.

Emergency endoscopy showed a small ulcer along the lesser gastric curvature 2 cm below the gastro-oesophageal junction.

Fluids and/or blood is administered, preferably by central venous catheter, and the patient is prepared for emergency endoscopy, which is typically done in theatres.
