In this exclusive video from ACG Virtual Annual Meeting, Gabriela Kuftinec, MD MPH, from the department of medicine, division of gastroenterology, University of Miami Leonard M. Miller School of Medicine, discusses the development of a stool color tool that may aid in the diagnosis of gastrointestinal bleeding.
Kuftinec and colleagues surveyed GI fellows and attendings, residents and nurses to assess the effectiveness of a novel visual stool tool. Among responders, 77% reported the stool color tool would aid in managing a GI bleed.
The researchers plan to continue testing the tool among other health care professionals.
