Issue​ 02 - Gastrointestinal Bleeding

Introduction
Concepts in Bleeding Control throughout the GI Tract

This introductory video explores the principles of hemostasis in the gastrointestinal tract, focusing on algorithms, visualization, and the selection of thermal versus mechanical therapies. Assessing active bleeding and identifying blood vessels are identified as essential steps. The comparison of monopolar and bipolar devices, along with the significance of tissue compliance is claimed to play a vital role in treatment success. Case examples demonstrate effective bleeding management techniques and summarize the necessary instruments for upper GI bleeding management.

Nonvariceal Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding - How to deal with it
From Risk Stratification to Intervention: Optimizing Peptic Ulcer Bleeding Management

This educational video offers a clear, systematic approach to managing nonvariceal upper GI bleeding, particularly in peptic ulcer disease. Tailored for practicing endoscopists, it delivers a definitive clinical framework for acute bleeding scenarios. Central to this approach is the Forrest classification, which serves not merely as a risk stratification tool but as a strategic guide for therapeutic decision-making. Through methodical analysis of each bleeding stigmata, this video provides clinicians with precise, actionable recommendations on intervention timing and technique selection.

Esophageal Variceal Bleeding
Step-by-Step Endoscopic Approach & Decision-Making

This educational video delivers a structured and practical overview of the classification and endoscopic management of esophageal variceal bleeding. Beginning with a detailed explanation of variceal types and high-risk stigmata, it moves through first-line therapeutic approaches with an emphasis on variceal ligation, and concludes with advanced rescue strategies such as esophageal stenting and TIPS.

Through didactic segments and real case-based video examples, viewers gain insight into ligation techniques, device handling, and limitations of endoscopic therapy. Core principles—such as remaining composed in acute situations, recognizing extension into the stomach, and implementing a spiral ligation strategy—are reinforced throughout.

Tailored for early-career and experienced endoscopists alike, this video emphasizes practical know-how, team preparedness, and evidence-based action, reminding us that effective control of variceal bleeding hinges on vigilance, confidence, and readiness.

Polypectomy bleeding: Theory and Therapy
A Practical Endoscopic Guide to Eisk Assessment and Treatment Strategies

This educational video offers a practical, step-by-step guide to the assessment and endoscopic management of postpolypectomy bleeding. From evaluating clinical risk to selecting the appropriate therapeutic tools, it emphasizes a structured approach grounded in preparation, precision, and calm decision-making. Aimed at endoscopists of all levels, the video highlights key strategies to manage bleeding effectively and safely, reinforcing that with the right knowledge and equipment, most cases can be resolved without escalation to surgery or interventional radiology.

Post Sphincterectomy Bleeding
Endoscopic haemostatic techniques and the treatment strategies

This video demonstrates the endoscopic management of post-sphincterotomy bleeding, a recognized complication following biliary sphincterotomy during ERCP. The clip showcases various endoscopic haemostatic techniques, case based discussions and the decision-making process in the choice of the chosen haemostatic techniques.
