Video Summary

In this video, Cyrus Paraka and Stephen Simmer from Henry Ford Hospital in Detroit provide a virtual demonstration of upper endoscopy techniques for a church or fellows course. They begin by explaining how to hold the gastroscope and its different buttons and knobs for manipulation, suction, and water/air insufflation. They then demonstrate injection techniques using a needle master, explaining its use for treating bleeding ulcers and lifting polyps. They emphasize the importance of injecting into the submucosal space and the need for proper communication between the endoscopist and technician. They also discuss clipping techniques using a Boston Scientific Resolution 360 Ultra Clip, focusing on proper positioning and grasping of tissue. Finally, they demonstrate the use of biopsy forceps and highlight the importance of knowing their markings and ways to maximize tissue retrieval. Throughout the video, they encourage questions and interactions with viewers.
