Video Summary

The video begins with a discussion on preparing for on-call questions from patients in the ER. Dr. Robert Moran from MUSC gives a lecture on how to handle these questions. He emphasizes the importance of being decent and helpful on the phone, as well as being quick to respond to calls. He also highlights the importance of knowing the policies and guidelines regarding bowel preparation, anesthesia rules, and various medications. Dr. Moran discusses urgent and emergent cases that may require immediate action, such as bleeds, obstructions, and foreign bodies. He emphasizes the need to prioritize cases based on urgency and the importance of ensuring proper resuscitation and monitoring for unstable patients. The lecture also covers complications of procedures like colonoscopies and ERCPs, including post-procedure pain, post-polypectomy syndrome, and complications from sphincterotomy. Dr. Moran provides recommendations on when to contact the ERCP staff and emphasizes the need for open communication with the attending physician. He concludes by discussing common complications of ERCP, such as post-sphincterotomy bleeding, pancreatitis, and perforation. He encourages early communication with attendings and timely notification of other specialties. The video ends with a reminder to call the attending physician for major decisions and to ask for their preferences regarding other clinicians involved in patient care. That's the end of the summary. No credits were given in the video.
