(Adnkronos) - Delle emorragie digestive si parla molto poco. Eppure si tratta di un evento di grave entità e in aumento a causa dell'invecchiamento della popolazione, dell'incremento delle fragilità e delle comorbidità e dell'abuso di farmaci potenzialmente lesivi a livello dell'apparato digerente. Per affrontare l'emergenza emorragica la formazione è fondamentale. Con questa mission Sied, Società italiana di endoscopia digestiva, organizza annualmente il Corso nazionale Sied che per l’edizione 2024, ‘Le emorragie digestive, 51 sfumature di rosso’, ha registrato oltre 700 iscrizioni.

00:00DIGESTIVE HEMORRAGIES
00:04We talk very little about digestive hemorrhages.
00:07However, it is a serious event,
00:10increasing due to the aging of the population,
00:13the increase of fragility, comorbidity and drug abuse,
00:17potentially harmful to the digestive system.
00:20To deal with the hemorrhagic emergency, training is essential.
00:24And in fact, with this mission,
00:26CHESSYED, the Italian digestive endoscopy company,
00:29organizes the annual CHESSYED national course,
00:32which for the 2024 edition is entitled
00:35Digestive Hemorrhages, 51 shades of red.
00:39We have reached about 700 registrants,
00:42of which the vast majority is represented by young doctors,
00:46gastroenterology specialists and digestive endoscopy.
00:51Of these 700 registrants, 105 were the study bags
00:56assigned to under-35s,
00:59therefore young doctors who have recently entered the world of work,
01:03to whom the training is directed, as I repeat,
01:08on a topic, the topic of digestive hemorrhages,
01:11which is a very transversal topic.
01:13The incidence of digestive hemorrhages of the upper tract
01:16is 130-150 people every 100,000 inhabitants per year.
01:21The incidence of hemorrhages of the lower digestive tract
01:24varies from 20 to 30 cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year.
01:28Mortality in the emergency room for digestive hemorrhages
01:31is similar to that of a heart attack.
01:33What are the most important challenges?
01:36I believe in training.
01:40And then the other challenge is to work with institutions
01:45to always try to have the most up-to-date tools,
01:50the most essential devices,
01:54so that the endoscopy really replaces surgery a lot,
02:00with certainly better outcomes,
02:04just think about reducing emergency days.
02:07Digestive endoscopy today is characterized
02:10as a minimally invasive method,
02:13extremely useful and capable of solving many problems.
02:17The endoscopy is always aimed at hemorrhagic emergencies.
02:22Today we have available technologies, filters,
02:26false colorings, virtual colorings,
02:29which allow us to improve in terms of timing and efficiency,
02:35and therefore also in terms of public health costs.
02:39The diagnosis in acute cases of hemorrhages
02:43is therefore also aimed more quickly at a therapeutic discourse.
