ABSTRACT
Endoscopy is most frequently performed in intensive care units (ICU) for gastrointestinal bleeding; however, there are other indications for performing an endoscopy on the ICU. This article shows the indications for this, the background and the peri-interventional and postinterventional management. The endoscopic placement of a postpyloric feeding tube is a well-established procedure. For anastomotic leakage in the esophagus and rectum, the endoscopic vacuum therapy is the treatment of choice. Gastrointestinal motility disorders are a frequent phenomenon in critically ill patients and are associated with increased mortality. With a cecal diameter >â¯9-12â¯mm, endoscopic decompression can be performed; however, this is associated with an increased risk of perforation and should only be carried out after the failure of conservative treatment.
