Managing an acute upper gastrointestinal bleed

Update: 2019-08-27

Description

Something a little different this week... I invited one of our senior gastroenterology registrars (Dr Chris White) on the podcast to discuss a recent paper on gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding.

Stanley A, Laine L. Management of acute upper gastrointestinal bleeding. BMJ 2019;364:I536

The paper aimed to "provide a comprehensive and evidence-based summary of the assessment and management of patients with acute upper GI bleeding". We endeavored to do the same in our recording. Find a summary of the main points on our blog site: https://the-breach.com
