Gastrointestinal endoscopy Endoscopy of the gastrointestinal tract allows the endoscopist to view the lumen of the oesophagus, stomach and proximal half of the duodenum (oesophagogastroduodenoscopy), colon (colonoscopy), and rectum and distal sigmod colon (sigmoidoscopy), and distal rectum and anal canal (proctoscopy). It is usually performed under sedation.

The contents and volumes discharged through a drain must be recorded. Large volumes, such as those from the gastrointestinal tract, may need the equivalent amount replaced intravenously. Gut function Some degree of gut atony is common after abdominal surgery, particularly emergency surgery. The condition is usually self-limiting and of little clinical consequence. There are three conditions that can produce massive gut dilatation and pose serious problems for the patient: r gastric dilatation; r paralytic (small intestine) ileus; r pseudo-obstruction (large intestine).

The important causes to consider are: r pulmonary embolus; r abdominal distension; r opiate overdose. Depending on the initial state of respiratory function and the degree of deterioration, the patient may require anything from supplemental oxygen supplied by face mask to endotracheal intubation. A Pco2 above 45 mm Hg, a Po2 below 60 mm Hg and a low tidal volume all indicate that mechanical ventilation will be required. Once appropriate ventilatory support has been achieved, the cause of the respiratory failure can be addressed.
