Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Effective coagulation of of actual or potential non-variceal bleeding in the upper Gastrointestinal (GI) tract. | Perioperative | Primary haemostasis at day 0 using microwave coagulation of active bleeding or pre-coagulation of exposed vessels. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Identification and incidence of intra-procedural complications | Day 0 | — |
| Identification and incidence of post-procedural complications | At 24-72 hours, 1 week and 4 weeks | — |
| Change in Glasgow-Blatchford score | Day 0 for initial screen and then 24-72 hours post-procedure for second score. | The Glasgow-Blatchford score will be recorded prior to and after microwave intervention |
