Preoperative diagnosis: Gastrointestinal bleeding, chronic calculus cholecystitis Postoperative diagnosis: Same Procedure: Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) Indications: This 32-year-old female had some GI bleeding. A colonoscopy was performed last week that showed no abnormalities, so it was decided that the upper GI tract should be viewed as well. Procedure: The patient was brought to the procedure suite, at which time she received 10 mg of intravenous Versed and 50 mg of intravenous Demerol for sedation. We used Cetacaine spray to anesthetize the oropharynx. An Olympus video gastroscope was then passed through the oropharynx and into the esophagus, which showed evidence of irritation. Brushings collected. The stomach was next visualized. There was some evidence of bleeding, but nothing active at this time. It was not deemed necessary to examine the duodenum therefore at this point, the gastroscope was removed. The patient tolerated the procedure well.
