Video Tip: Modification of the Endoscopic Hemostatic Powder Application Technique

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The video discusses the use of Endoclot, a hemostatic powder for upper and lower non-variceal bleeding during endoscopic procedures. The powder absorbs fluids and promotes coagulation, aiding in managing diffuse bleeding and poor visualization. However, there is a risk of premature catheter occlusion due to contact with liquids, particularly in challenging cases. A modification technique involving using modeling clay to occlude the catheter tip before insertion is suggested to prevent this issue. The technique aims to ensure proper powder delivery without premature occlusion, reducing the risk of technical failures during procedures for patients with bleeding disorders.
