Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Barkun answers two questions from the audience. The first question is about what to do for clearance in case erythromycin is not available in their center. Dr. Barkun mentions that the data on using metoclopramide is not very good, but it can be tried as an alternative option. If there are still issues, a second look may be necessary to identify the source of bleeding. The second question addresses the use of hemoclips in cases where there are multiple clips already in place. Dr. Barkun advises not to use more than three clips and suggests using other methods instead. If re-bleeding occurs, the use of an over-the-scope clip can be considered, but caution is advised as its efficacy is not well-established. The video ends with thanks to the speaker and audience questions. No credits are mentioned.
