GI Now for Group Practice-Obscure GI Bleeding Part Four

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video is part of a series on obscure GI bleeding, brought to you by a grant from Braintree, a part of Cibela Pharmaceuticals. Dr. Gerard Eisenberg provides 10 tips for managing cases where the source of GI bleeding is not easily identified. The eighth tip is to attempt to localize the site of bleeding using capsule endoscopy and determining the best route for intervention. However, the video warns of potential delays in transit time and possible misinterpretation of the location of the lesion. The video also discusses the use of different endoscopes depending on the location of the bleeding and suggests using clips and tattoos to mark areas for further evaluation or treatment. Other tips include repeating diagnostic tests if necessary, providing patients with a prescription for an urgent CT angiogram for recurring bleeding after discharge, and seeking advice from experts in obscure GI bleeding and device-assisted enteroscopy. The video concludes by encouraging viewers to subscribe to GI Now for access to various virtual courses.
