Video Tip: The Endoscopic Doppler Probe in Non-variceal Upper GI Bleeding

Video Transcription

Video Summary

This video presents the use of the endoscopic Doppler probe (EDP) in guiding treatment decisions and achieving effective hemostasis in challenging cases. Three patient cases were discussed, including using the EDP to differentiate between high-risk lesions, target treatment in large ulcers, and guide therapeutic decisions when clinical and endoscopic findings are discordant. The EDP helped identify arterial blood flow in indeterminate lesions, guide treatment with clips and other interventions, and improve patient outcomes through precise targeting of treatment areas. The video emphasizes the importance of incorporating the EDP into routine practice for optimizing endoscopic hemostasis and enhancing patient care.
