Abstract Background Peroral endoscopic myotomy (POEM) is an increasingly utilized endoscopic therapy for achalasia. When undergoing esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD), patients with a diagnosis of achalasia may receive endotracheal intubation (EI) to reduce the risk of aspiration. The risk of aspirati...
