This is a
photograph of an area that had been bleeding. The area that had been
bleeding is to the left of the center of the photograph. In fact, it had
been bleeding quite severely. We used the device, which applies current
to the area, to coagulate it, and we can see that there is virtually no
bleeding at this point in time. The white that we see in the photograph
is where the tissues have been coagulated or burnt, to stop the
bleeding. This is one of the main ways we get bleeding sites to stop.
You can also see that at the end of the probe, or the straight gold
object that is coming out of the endoscope, there appears to be a
needle. Once this area was coagulated using heat, which was applied to
this probe, I extended a needle out and pierced the tissue with this. I
then injected Adrenaline to further halt any bleeding that might occur.
