Instructors Notes<br />
A. Tips to keep scenario flowing<br />
B. If students fail to properly resuscitate patient, prompting can come in form of a primary<br />
care physician calling to check in on their patient.<br />
1. If IV fluids are not provided, patient becomes increasingly hypotensive as case<br />
progresses.<br />
2. If student are unsure of imaging modality, gastroenterology will recommend upper<br />
endoscopy<br />
C. Scenario programming<br />
1. Optimal management path:<br />
O 2 /IV/monitor<br />
History and physical examination<br />
Aggressive fluid resuscitation<br />
Appropriate lab workup<br />
o Include type and cross OR type and screen depending upon<br />
suspected blood loss<br />
o Include rule-out MI<br />
o Include HCT, coagulation panel<br />
Order endoscopy (esophagogastroduodenoscopy)<br />
Administer proton pump inhibitor<br />
Consult specialist for definitive care/determine need for surgical<br />
intervention<br />
Transfer to OR for laparotomy, if required<br />
2. Potential complications/errors path(s):<br />
Failure to administer fluids<br />
If pertinent, failure to recognize need for surgical intervention<br />
3. Program debugging: N/A<br />
VII.<br />
Debriefing Plan<br />
A. Method of debriefing: Group with multimedia teaching materials<br />
B. Potential Debriefing topics<br />
a. Appropriate differential diagnosis<br />
i. Discuss definitive way to determine origin of GIB<br />
ii. Discuss why endoscopy and colonoscopy are both warranted when searching for<br />
source of GIB<br />
b. Management of gastrointestinal bleed<br />
i. ABC’s<br />
ii. resuscitation with IVFs and blood products if necessary<br />
iii. appropriate laboratory studies<br />
iv. IV PPI<br />
v. octreotide<br />
c. Etiology<br />
