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 />
