  • Title: Basic requirements of gastroenterologists to treat upper gastrointestinal bleeding: competency and sedation issues.
    Author: Shah N, Vargo JJ.
    Journal: Gastrointest Endosc Clin N Am; 2011 Oct; 21(4):731-7. PubMed ID: 21944422.
    Abstract:
    This article reviews the components of adequate training required for a gastroenterologist to treat upper gastrointestinal bleeding (UGIB). The current status of endoscopic simulators is critically reviewed to determine whether these should be part of the UGIB armamentarium in the training of individuals and whether credentialing could be accomplished through this method of instruction. Finally, the author discusses the appropriate use of sedation in patients with UGIB.
