Medtronic* & Saxe Communications presents…“Diagnosis and Management of Small Bowel Bleeding”

Small bowel bleeding (SBB) is suspected in patients with overt and occult gastrointestinal bleeding that is unexplained after initial upper GI endoscopy and colonoscopy. A variety of technologies are currently available for the diagnosis of bleeding sources in the deep small bowel. This webinar will review these technologies and recommendations for their use with specific references to current published literature.

Learning Objectives  |  Upon completion of this educational activity, the participant should be able to:

1. Define suspected small bowel bleeding including a description of likely bleeding sources based upon patient age.
2. Review technologies currently available for the evaluation of cases of small bowel bleeding along with guideline recommendations regarding their use.
3. Discuss management of challenging cases of suspected small bowel bleeding in which initial diagnostic testing is unrevealing.
