Event Description

On october 25, olympus medical systems corp.(omsc) received the literature "management of less than 10-mm-sized pedunculated (ip) polyps with thin stalk: hot snare polypectomy versus cold snare polypectomy¿.The purpose of the literature was to evaluate whether the rate of delayed postpolypectomy bleeding (dppb) after cold snare polypectomy (csp) for ip polyps was higher than that after snare polypectomy (hsp) for ip polyps and compared other outcomes (the rates of immediate bleeding and pathological margins) between the hsp and csp procedures.The hsp and csp was performed using a snare (snaremaster-plus or snaremaster: olympus) and an endoscopy (cf-h260azi, pcf-q260azi, pcf-q290azi, or pcf-h290zi: olympus).Snare catheter was manufactured by unknown.In the literature, it was reported 3 immediate bleedings and 4 dppbs in hsp, and 39 immediate bleedings in csp.Dppb was defined as a fall in hemoglobin level by at least 2 g/dl below the most recent preoperative level or the need for endoscopic hemostasis and/or blood transfusion and/or massive melena.Immediate bleeding that necessitated hemostatic clipping was defined as spurting or oozing that continued for more than 30 s.The literature wrote, ¿all the episodes of immediate bleeding during csp were adequately controlled by endoscopic hemostasis, and none of the cases in this study required blood transfusion, admission, and/ or surgery.¿ based on the available information, a direct relationship between the olympus product and these complications could not be determined.According to harm list ver.19 (id: (b)(4), immediate bleedings in hsp and csp were decided as not serious injury.However, 4 dppbs in hsp that may have required blood transfusion and/or massive melena might be serious injury, and the olympus snare might be used when 4 dppbs occurred.This is the report regarding 4 dppbs in hsp that may have required blood transfusion and/or massive melena.
