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.
对需要急诊内镜的儿科急诊入院进行回顾性分析，评估大流行期间生活方式和医院实践的改变是否对急诊内镜的频率和特征有影响。将大流行的前 6 个月（A 组）与前一年同期（B 组）进行比较。分析了 89 例病例。大多数急诊内镜发生在两岁以下的儿童（28%），且大多数发生在 A 组（p = 0.009）。A 组取出的异物更多（p = 0.026）。两组到达急诊室的时间（p = 0.934）或从急诊室入院到内镜检查的时间延迟（p = 0.266）均无统计学差异。总体而言，大流行似乎并未影响急诊内镜手术的医疗保健实践质量。
