Crossword-Solution: ENDOSCOPY 9 letters, 1 clue 🏆 scrabble score: 17

PREFACE This book is based on an abstract of the author's larger work, Peroral Endoscopy and Laryngeal Surgery.

The endoscopist should never depend upon a pocket battery as a source of illumination, for it is almost certain to fail during the endoscopy.

Should a patient arrive in a serious state of water-hunger, as part of the preparation the patient must be given water by hypodermoclysis and enteroclysis, and if necessary the endoscopy, except in dyspneic cases, must be delayed until the danger of water-starvation is past.

Every patient should be examined by indirect, mirror laryngoscopy as a preliminary to peroral endoscopy for any purpose whatsoever.

Unless prevented, almost all patients will heave up the chest and arch the lumbar spine so as to defeat the object and to render endoscopy difficult by bringing the chest up to the high-held head, thus assuming the same relation of the head to the chest as exists in the Rose position (a faulty one for endoscopy) as will be understood by assuming that the dotted line, E, represents the table.
