The Department of Gastroenterology, PGI, is organising the 9th PGI Gastrointestinal (GI) Emergencies update from November 14 to 16. This national-level academic event will bring together leading gastroenterologists, physicians, and trainees from across the country for focused discussions and hands-on learning on the theme of gastrointestinal emergencies.
The conference aims to enhance understanding and promote evidence-based management of emergencies related to the gastrointestinal tract and liver. Gastrointestinal emergencies are among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality worldwide, and timely, goal-directed intervention during the crucial early hours can significantly improve patient outcomes.
Prof Usha Dutta, chairperson of the Organising Committee, said the goal is to empower the first-contact physicians with the skills and confidence needed to handle GI emergencies effectively and improve patient outcomes.
Gastrointestinal bleeding, a common but potentially life-threatening emergency, will be one of the key focus areas, and experts will discuss the causes and the latest endoscopic techniques and therapeutic tools available for effective management.
Acute pancreatitis, another major GI emergency, is often triggered by alcohol intake, gallstones, or high lipid levels, requiring prompt recognition and early intervention, particularly in the first 72 hours. Sessions will address preventive strategies, early diagnosis, and comprehensive management protocols, and deliberations on liver-related emergencies, and discussions on advancements in diagnostic and therapeutic modalities.
