Coagulation of bleeding site

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.
