| Core Tip |
Although nasogastric (NG) tube aspiration is recommended for the potential benefit of risk stratification in upper gastrointestinal (UGI) bleeding, its clinical usefulness is still debatable. Recently, a novel bedside portable endoscopy device (EG scan, IntroMedic Co., Ltd., Seoul, Korea) has been developed to evaluate the esophagogastroduodenal area with high convenience and notable accessibility compared with conventional endoscopy. As far as we know, this is the first study to evaluate the clinical outcomes of this device compared with NG tube aspiration in UGI bleeding identification. We found that EG scan might offer benefits over NG aspiration in patients with esophageal bleeding. |
