3.1 Endoscopy Course: Gastrointestinal bleeding

Instructor:

Dr. J. Weigt

 

Maximum number of participants: 10
Duration: 1 day

Dates: on request

Course objective: Targeting a visceral bleeding may represent a challenge for endoscopists. Usually, endoscopy is the first approach in patients with an obscure blood loss from the gastrointestinal tract to identify the bellding site and ideally to achieve adequate hemostasis concurrently. Aim of this course is to train endoscopists to get prepared for such clinical situations and to train to achieve sufficient hemostasis. Recently, in vitro models on the basis of pig stomachs have proven very practical for such purposes. Accordingly, in this course not only in a theoretical

course to lecture a guidelines-recommended approach to gastrointestinal bleeding, but in particular also a practical approach in hands-on sessions on pig stomachs.
