Episode #3: Variceal Bleeding
Manage episode 305205208 series 2997563
That all too familiar sense of dread, when you're informed of a upper GI bleed from a patient in your MO1/HO1 call, is something many of us have faced at some point at in the middle of the night.
Dr Ravishankar Asokkumar, Consultant Gastroenterologist, shares what we can do to stabilize such patients, to optimise their chances of a successful endoscopy. Following up on our episode on cirrhosis, we discuss the acute management of esophageal and gastric varices, and delve into the primary and secondary prophylaxis of varices.
