Significance: Gastrointestinal bleeding is one of the most commonly encountered problems in endoscopy. When faced with a critically unstable patient, rapid identification of the precise bleeding point is crucial to providing intervention. Image-enhanced technology has been widely used as of today for the identification of gastrointestinal lesions. The Olympus Corporation recently released red dichromatic imaging (RDI) in its latest model to aid Endoscopists in the identification of bleeding points and vessels. Thus, we present three cases of upper gastrointestinal bleeding, two bleeding Deiulafoy's lesions and one bleeding peptic ulcer disease, in which RDI was used to help identify the bleeding point and provide intervention. This study is the first of its kind in the Philippines.
Keywords: Endoscopy, image-enhanced endoscopy, red dichromatic imaging, gastrointestinal bleeding, case series.
