Complications of upper gastrointestinal endoscopy are uncommon. Approximately one complication occurs with every 1000 procedures. The mortality rate is estimated to be between 0.5 and 3 per 10,000 cases. Cardiopulmonary events comprise 50% of all major complications, and most of these events result from the medications used for conscious sedation. Diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of common complications are discussed; rare complications are mentioned.
上消化道内镜检查的并发症并不常见。每1000例检查中约发生1例并发症。估计死亡率为每10000例中有0.5至3例。心肺事件占所有主要并发症的50%，其中大多数事件是由用于清醒镇静的药物引起的。本文讨论了常见并发症的诊断、治疗和预防；并提及了罕见并发症。
