Resumen
A retrospective analysis of admissions to the pediatric emergency department that required emergency endoscopy was performed, to evaluate if changes in the lifestyle and hospital practices imposed by the pandemic had an impact on the frequency and profile of the emergency endoscopy. The first 6 months of the pandemic (Group A) were compared with the homologous period of the previous year (Group B). Eight-nine cases were analyzed. Most emergency endoscopies occurred in children under the age of two (28%) and most of these were in Group A (p = 0.009). More foreign bodies were removed in Group A (p = 0.026). There were no statistically significant differences in the time to reach the emergency department (p = 0.934) or in the time delay since emergency room admission until the endoscopic procedure (p = 0.266). Overall, the pandemic did not seem to affect the quality of healthcare practice regarding emergency endoscopic procedures.
