GI Bleeding Basics
This is the most common cause of upper GI bleeding.
What is Peptic Ulceration
MPEC stands for this type of electrocautery.
What is Multipolar Electrocautery
This technique is established as standard therapy for bleeding esophageal varices.
what is endoscopic banding
TTS endoscopic clips achieve hemostasis through mechanical approximation of tissue followed by this effect.
What is Tamponade
Approximately this many acute GI bleeding hospital admissions occur annually in the U.S.
What is 500,000+ acute GI Bleeding hospital admissions annually in the US
Unlike monopolar devices, an Multipolar Electrocautery probe does not require this.
What is Return Pad
njection needles used for endoscopic hemostasis typically range from this gauge to this gauge.
What is 19-25 gauge
The three main components of a TTS clip system are the metallic double-pronged clip, delivery catheter, and ___________.
What is the Handle
This disease is the most common cause of lower GI bleeding
What is Diverticular Disease
This non-contact thermal device uses ionized argon gas to conduct high-frequency monopolar current to target tissue.
What is Argon Plasma Coagulation
According to the deck, combining epinephrine injection with another endoscopic therapy is superior to this approach.
What is epinephrine monotherapy
In the study presented, delayed hemorrhage occurred in 9.7% of the non-clipped group but only this percentage of the fully clipped group.
What is 1.8%
When direct endoscopy is non-diagnostic, this procedure should be performed as soon as possible to identify the bleeding site or lesion.
What is Wireless capsule endoscopy
APC is well suited for superficial treatment because its coagulation penetrates tissue to only approximately this depth.
What is a few millimeters
This technology uses an auditory signal to help identify the presence and course of bleeding vessels.
What is an endoscopic doppler probe
According to the study, polyps that were not clipped were this many times more likely to rebleed.
What is 6 times
A physician needs to close a GI defect. Name these three Boston Scientific devices in order.
Device A: allows the physician to customize the suture pattern, has some anatomy limitations, but will provide watertight, full thickness closure.
Device B: is a through-the-scope clip that uses proprietary technology to support an Anchor, Mobilize, Close approach 1for large defects and eliminates "clip slip" for small defects in difficult locations.
Device C: through-the-scope device that uses four tacks and a suture for multiple fixation points.
Device A: Overstitch Endoscopic Suturing System
Device B: Mantis TTS Closure Device
Device C: XTack TTS Suturing System
