AB This  33-year-old  white  female  patient  with  Down  syndrome  (DS)  (Figure  35–1)  presented  to  the  gastrointestinal  (GI)  service  with  a  history  of  vomiting  blood.  You  first  encounter  her  when  she  is  brought  to  the  operating  room  (OR)  at  22:00  hours  with  gross  hematemesis  and  the  general  surgeon  is  going  to  attempt  GI  endoscopy  to  determine  the  site  of  bleeding  and  its  cause,  and  attempt  to  stop  it.  Failing  that,  an  open  laparotomy  is  planned.
