✅ IV abx
✅ Suction and clear area of enteric contents
✅ Upper GI perfs: PPI
✅ Diversion of enteric contents (NG/NJ)
✅ Switch to low flow CO2 if not already!

⬆️ clinical suspicion is key
🩻X-rays (not preferred)
☑️CT x contrast: unstable pt
💦Add water-soluble oral contrast:
⬆️ accuracy
⏺ show site of extravasation
❌ barium: risk of mediastinitis
❔Rarely may use dilute Barium if no leak seen with water contrast

‼️Peritonitis
‼️Unstable patients
‼️Large perfs ≥2.5 cm
🥼Absence of experienced endoscopists
😢Failed endoscopic repair
@AmerGastroAssn suggests ✂️ consultation be considered in ALL cases even when endoscopic repair is technically successful 👥
