Abstract:sedation which is hypothesized to relax smooth muscle fibers in distal esophagus followed by paralysis which relaxes skeletal muscles fibers in the diaphragm and proximal esophagus allowing passage of impacted food. We propose RSII prior to EGD for patients presenting with delayed EFI to minimize need for prolonged endoscopic interventions, thus reducing risk of esophageal perforation.[2370] Figure 1. Radiographic and endoscopic findings before and after rapid sequence induction-intubation for Cases 1, 2 and 3. Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
