Initial evaluation

 Clinical severity of bleeding


 Blood sample :
 FBC,Urea,creatinine,
 Electrolyte,cloting profil,
 Blood group & cross match
Severity bleeding : clinical criteria
Severity bleeding criteria
Mild < 1g/dl drop Hb
Minimal/ no anemia
Stable hemodynamic
Infrequent melena
Coffee hemet emesis

Moderate 1-2 g/dl drop Hb


Hb : 10 g/dl
Tachycardia
Melena
Hemet emesis

Severe 2 g/dl drop Hb


Hb < 10 g/dl
Orthostatism/shock
Hematochesia > 350 cc
Repeated hemet emesis
Predictors UGIB
Acute U.G.I. Bleeding
  General Investigations:
1. Hb, PCV
2. CBC (WBC … etc)
3. Bld glucose
4. Platelets, coagulation
5. Urea, creatinine, electrolytes
6. Liver biochem.
7. Acid-base state
8. Imaging: chest & abd. radiography, US, CT
A. Endoscopic therapy

Injection : adrenaline
alcohol
sclerosants
thrombin
Thermal : heater probe
electrocoagulation
argon beamer
neodymium YAG laser
Other : microwave coagulation
cyanoacrylate glue
B. Mechanical closure by endoclips

C. Drug therapy for peptic ulcer bleeding


PPI iv follow infusion 72 h
or
PPI daily iv
or
PPI oral

Following with healing dose 8 weeks


H pylori eradication
re-scope 2-3 mo
Mallory-Weiss
 Tear of mucosa around esophagogastric
junction, after retching vomiting
 Bleeding occurs when involves plexus
venous or arterial
 Usually in middle age
 Prompt endoscopies diagnostic procedure
: longitudinal ulcer
Mallory Weiss tear
Differential Diagnosis
 Reflux esophagitis/ GERD
 Infectious esophagitis

Usually, focal lesion with normal adjacent


Contrast with other cause
Barium x-ray : nondiagnostic
Treatment :
 usually stop bleeding spontaneous
 endoscopic treatment
 H2 blocker, PPI accelerate healing
Investigation Of Obscure bleeding

 Push enteroscopy
 Intraoperative enteroscopy
 Hemostatic during enteroscopy
 Capsul endoscopy
 Mesenteric angiography
 Radioisotope bleeding scans
 Exploratory laparotomy
VARICEAL BLEEDING
Natural history varices
esophagus
Pathogenesis varices rupture
Explosion theory Erosion theory

 Increased portal pressure  Esophagitis


 Increased variceal size  Ulcerasion
 Increase variceal wall  “Deglutory” trauma
tension  NSAIDs
Warsning liver function Meals(postprandial hyperemia)

Alcohol intake Physical exercise

Portal Hypertension
Formation of Varices

VARICEAL RUPTURE

Variceal Bleeding
(Esophageal – Gastric)
INDICATIONS FOR ADMISSION
& REFERRAL
 Admit pts with h/o recent brisk bleeding &
orthostatic changes
 Admit pts with less severe blood loss who have
co-morbid conditions aggravated by anemia
 Profound anemia with no evidence of blood loss
 Refer pts who are candidate for endoscopy or
colonoscopy when source of bleeding is elusive
