ASGE Annual Postgraduate Course: Clinical Challenges and Real-Time Decision Making in GI Endoscopy (On-demand) | May 2023-Session 1 - Video Case Discussion: UGI Bleed and Lower GI Bleed

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video features a panel discussion led by Dr. Kaushik Das, Dr. Andy Tao, Madam President Jennifer Christie, and Alan Barkin. The discussion focuses on real-time decision-making and video analysis in the context of gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding cases. The first case discussed is a 60-year-old man with recurrent melanohemorrhagic shock and multiple duodenal ulcers. The panel discusses using bipolar coagulation and clear cap technique for hemostasis. They also discuss the different treatment options for various ulcers, such as thermal therapy, clips, and ligation devices. The second case involves a patient with variceal bleeding, where the panel discusses the order of banding and the management of post-banding ulcers. They touch on the use of through-the-scope fully covered self-expanding metal stents and the need for transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) in severe liver disease cases. The video emphasizes the importance of prevention, multimodal approaches, and a multidisciplinary approach for optimal patient care. No credits were granted in the video.
