[Organization and work experience of the endoscopy office in an emergency abdominal surgery clinic]

Within a five-year period in a special room intended for endoscopy 1934 investigations were performed, including 1318-on urgent indications. 77 esophago-gastroduodenoscopies were performed elsewhere-in the operating room, in the intensive care unit; 35 investigations were carried out under general anesthesia with the use of myorelaxants of a short effect. In 256 cases the neccesity of active infusion therapy and reanimation arose. In the paper, the authors' considerations concerning the need of organization, in large cities, of a mobile endoscopic team attached to the emergency medical aid are given with special reference to some features of the organization of endoscopy room in the clinic of emergency abdominal surgery.
