PEO

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general) Medical report
This question has been asked before but in a different context. In this case PEO is not an SOP. (In any case, in Spain, SOPS are usually referred to as PNTs).

I believe from the context that the "P" stands for prueba, as it refers to it in the feminine form, but the rest is a mystery to me.

It appears in these two paragraphs...

Desde hace tres años se aprecia episodios de dolor toracico esporadico, ocasionalmente irradiado a ambos hombros y manos. De catheter opresivo, solia tener una duración de 30- 40 segundos. No se acompañaba de otro tipo de manifestations. Fue valorado por Cardiologia, sin detectarse ninguna patologia asociada tras la realizacion de Eco-cardio, ECG, ergometria y Halter. Por tal motivo se sometio a una **PEO** (12/04/2012) en la que se aprecian dos lesiones polipoideas erosionadas a nivel de la union gastroesofagica, sin otro tipo de alteraciones a nivel esofagico, gastrico o duodenal.

Se repite la **PEO** en otra institution. En ella se objetiva un area de mucosa discretamente
irregular, a 40 cm de la arcada dentaria, a nivel del area de transition epitelial, sobre una pequeña
hernia hiatal.

"Esophagogastroduodenoscopy may be abbreviated EGD, or OGD if one uses the British spelling oesophagogastroduodenoscopy. It is also called upper GI endoscopy (UGIE), gastroscopy or simply endoscopy (since it is the most commonly performed type of endoscopy, the ambiguous term 'endoscopy' refers to EGD by default)."
