Event Description

It is reported a patient had an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ercp) using an evis exera iii duodenovideoscope with disposable cap.Suction was set at 120mm/hg for this procedure.During this procedure, the doctor noticed bleeding from the patient's mouth after the scope was inserted, the doctor withdrew the tjf-q190v scope, and the procedure was aborted.The patient had to remain intubated after the procedure.The patient was transferred to another hospital for a higher level of care.Five days later, a repeat ercp and esophagogastroduodenoscopy (egd) was performed by a second doctor using the older model scope without disposable tip.During this procedure the doctor saw a 13cm long 2-3mm wide healing laceration extending from her ge junction to the upper mid esophagus.The injury necessitated blood transfusion, prolonged endotracheal intubation following the initial ercp, hospital transfer to a higher level of care, several more days stay as an inpatient, as well as causing significant painful swallowing for 2-3 days.The patients current condition is described as recovered fully, discharged home, with a planned ercp to remove the bile duct stent which was placed, probably in mid to late may.
