Abstract
Background and Aims
GI tract perforations during endoscopy can lead to serious adverse events such as tension pneumoperitoneum. In such cases, intraprocedural percutaneous needle decompression can be a lifesaving technique, in addition to allowing procedure completion. The aim of this study is to review the indications for percutaneous needle decompression and provide a step-by-step procedural guide with case examples.
Methods
This review article and accompanying video review the technique for percutaneous needle decompression for pneumoperitoneum during endoscopy-related perforation, providing a step-by-step procedural guide illustrated with 2 case examples.
Results
In both case examples, intraprocedural needle decompression resulted in rapid normalization of hemodynamics and allowed time to safely complete the procedures after endoscopic closure of the perforation.
Conclusions
Early recognition of pneumoperitoneum followed by intraprocedural percutaneous needle decompression with a large-bore catheter can allow time for defect closure and procedure completion or can serve as a temporizing measure until surgical intervention. Endoscopists should be comfortable performing this lifesaving technique in cases of endoscopy-related perforation and/or pneumoperitoneum.
期刊介绍:
VideoGIE, an official video journal of the American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, is an Open Access, online-only journal to serve patients with digestive diseases. VideoGIE publishes original, single-blinded peer-reviewed video case reports and case series of endoscopic procedures used in the study, diagnosis, and treatment of digestive diseases. Videos demonstrate use of endoscopic systems, devices, and techniques; report outcomes of endoscopic interventions; and educate physicians and patients about gastrointestinal endoscopy. VideoGIE serves the educational needs of endoscopists in training as well as advanced endoscopists, endoscopy staff and industry, and patients. VideoGIE brings video commentaries from experts, legends, committees, and leadership of the society. Careful adherence to submission guidelines will avoid unnecessary delays, as incomplete submissions may be returned to the authors before initiation of the peer review process.
