Video Transcription

Video Summary

In this video, Dr. Chandrasekhar and Dr. Wang discuss the use of energy devices in endoscopy, specifically focusing on the gold probe and argon plasma coagulation (APC). They explain that the gold probe is a bipolar device used for hemostasis in GI endoscopy. They demonstrate how to set up the device and discuss the importance of proper technique and knowledge of the generator settings. They also show how the gold probe delivers energy to the tissue, either along the side or at the end of the probe. They emphasize the need for careful application and duration of energy to achieve the desired effect. <br /><br />They then transition to discussing APC, a non-contact form of cautery. They explain that APC uses a flow of argon gas to deliver energy to the tissue. They demonstrate the technique of using APC to coagulate superficial vascular structures, such as angioectasias and ulcers. They show different settings on the generator, including pulsed APC, precise APC, and forced APC, and discuss how to adjust the generator settings to achieve the desired effect. They also highlight the importance of proper suctioning of argon gas and avoiding contact with the mucosa to prevent complications. <br /><br />Overall, the video provides a detailed demonstration and explanation of the use of energy devices in endoscopy, focusing on the gold probe and APC. <br /><br />No credits were mentioned in the video transcript.
