Case description

Identifying the Source of Bleeding Irrigation and suction are helpful in removing old blood and blood clots from the stomach, it is not unusual to have residual clots obscuring the endoscopic view and preventing proper identification of the source of bleeding. A number of interventions have been described to help remove these clots and improve endoscopic visibility. The irrigating hood is a device designed to be placed at the tip of the endoscope to allow forceful intragastric irrigation while maintaining an adequate intraluminal view of the bleeding site. Its use has been demonstrated to improve the endoscopic view and shorten procedure time.
