Outcomes in patients who underwent pre-esophagogastroduodenoscopy intubation compared to postesophagogastroduodenoscopy intubation

Outcome	Pre-EGD-ETI (N = 69)	Post-EGD-ETI (N = 20)	P value
Myocardial infarction	6 (9%)	2 (10%)	1.00
Pulmonary aspiration	26 (38%)	8 (40%)	0.92
ARDS	6 (9%)	4 (20%)	0.22
Pulmonary edema	5 (7%)	4 (20%)	0.11
Hospital LOS (days): Median (range)	10 (2, 61)	15.5 (2, 127)	0.056
ICU LOS (days): Median (range)	6 (1, 60)	9.5 (2, 103)	0.14
Mortality during hospitalization	15 (22%)	9 (45%)	0.049

ARDS indicates acute respiratory distress syndrome; ICU, intensive care unit; LOS, length of stay; post-EGD ETI, postesophagogastroduodenoscopy intubation defined by intubation >48 hours after EGD; pre-EGD-ETI, pre-esophagogastroduodenoscopy intubation.
