Video Summary

These webinars feature expert physicians in their field, and I'm very excited for today's presentation. The American Society for Gastrointestinal Endoscopy appreciates your participation in tonight's event, Practical Approach in the Management of Anticoagulation in the Setting of GI Bleeding. My name is Marilyn Amador, and I will be the facilitator for this presentation. This video introduces Dr. Ana Silverman and Kevin Song, two GI fellow moderators, who work at the Mayo Clinic in Arizona. They introduce themselves and provide background information on their specialties and research interests. They then introduce Dr. Nia Abraham, a content expert for the webinar, who is a professor of medicine at the Mayo Clinic and a consultant in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology. Dr. Abraham discusses the management of acute GI bleeding in patients on anticoagulants, specifically focusing on cases involving life-threatening hemorrhage. She emphasizes the importance of identifying life-threatening hemorrhage in order to inform management strategies. Dr. Abraham also discusses the optimal approach for managing the anticoagulation in the setting of GI bleeding, providing recommendations for specific scenarios such as patients on warfarin or direct-acting oral anticoagulants. She also addresses the use of platelet transfusion and the management of dual antiplatelet therapy in the peri-endoscopic period. Throughout the webinar, Dr. Silverman and Kevin pose questions to the audience and provide explanations and recommendations based on the current guidelines and evidence. The webinar concludes with a summary of the key take-home points for managing anticoagulation in the setting of GI bleeding. Overall, the video provides an overview of the current recommendations and guidelines for managing anticoagulation in patients with GI bleeding, and it aims to update physicians on the latest evidence-based strategies for optimal patient care.
