Procedure: The patient was brought to the procedure suite, at which time she received 10 mg of intravenous Versed and 50 mg of intravenous Demerol for sedation. We used Cetacaine spray to anesthetize the oropharynx. An Olympus video gastroscope was then passed through the oropharynx and into the esophagus, which showed evidence of irritation.
