Today on the emDOCs cast with Brit Long, MD (@long_brit), we cover part 1 on upper GI bleeding, specifically some background, NG tube lavage, blood product transfusion, proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), prokinetic agents, somatostatin analogues, and antibiotics.
Stay tuned for Part 2 where we cover endoscopy, other interventions for bleeding cessation, intubation, and risk scores.
