Y1 - 2015 N1 - T2 - Handbook of Pediatric Anesthesia AB - A 10-year-old presented to the emergency room after having emesis of bright red blood 3 times. Hematocrit on admission was 15. The patient received 20 mL/kg of packed red blood cells and was booked for an emergency diagnostic esophagogastroduodenoscopy with banding of varices. Pertinent past medical history reveals that he was diagnosed at age 6 months with cystic fibrosis (CF). He has had banding of esophageal varices 3 times in the past. He also has chronic lung disease requiring chest physical therapy (PT), a cough assist vest, inhaled tobramycin, and DNase, fluticasone, and albuterol inhalers. He just finished a course of IV antibiotics last week for increased pulmonary secretions and presumed pneumonia.
