UPPER GI BLEEDINGPeptic Ulcer Disease • Defect in the GI mucosa extending through the muscularis mucosa. • Decreasing incidence. • Caused by imbalance between the aggressive and defensive factors.
UPPER GI BLEEDINGPeptic Ulcer Disease • Helicobacter Pylori • NSAID’s • Acid Hypersecretory state. • Antral G cell Hyperplasia
UPPER GI BLEEDINGMallory - Weiss Laceration around the GE junction Classical presentation as bleeding after episode of vomiting Classical presentation found in 50% only Self- limiting
UPPER GI BLEEDINGDieulafoy’s • Massive And recurrent bleeding • Extramural artery present in the • Submucosa. • Most commonly in the gastric • Cardia, 6 cm from GE junction • High Mortality • Difficult to diagnose
UPPER GI BLEEDINGVascular abnormalities Portal HTN Gastropathy Mosiac / Snake skin Body or fundus Antral Vascular Ectesia Multiple punctuated lesions PBC and CREST
UPPER GI BLEEDINGstress ulcers • Caused by Vagal hyperstimulation • and vascular hypoperfusion. • Body and fundus more affected • Multiple • Prophylaxis is indicated in critically • ill ICU patients Curling Extensive burn Cushing Head Injury
UPPER GI BLEEDINGADVERSE PROGNOSTIC FACTORS • Diagnosis • Varices • Malignancy • Older age • Severe initial bleeding • Recurrence during hospitalization • Coincidental diseases • Endoscopic stigmata of recent bleeding • Need for emergency surgery
UPPER GI BLEEDINGMANAGEMENT History Physical NG Tube Labs Resuscitation Assessment Endoscopy Bleeding Stops Bleeding continues Surgery or angiogram/ embolization
UPPER GI BLEEDINGMANAGEMENT Most Have NG Tube Rectal Exam Endoscopy

UPPER GI BLEEDINGMORTALITY: CORRELATION WITH STOOL AND NG COLOR Stool color NG Aspirate
UPPER GI BLEEDINGMANAGEMENT Most Have NG Tube Rectal Exam Endoscopy
UPPER GI BLEEDINGMANAGEMENT: Proton Pump Inhibitors • 10 studies had been published on the use of PPIs for upper GI bleeding since 1990. • Proven benefit in controlling bleeding when 80 mg bolus of Omeprazole followed by infusion for total of 160 mg/day. • Preventing rebleeding when Omeprazole orally at 40 mg twice daily.
UPPER GI BLEEDINGBLEEDINGESOPHAGEAL VARICEAL • Dilated tortuous veins of • the lower and mid • esophagus. • Secondary to portal HTN • 30% mortality after the • first episode. • 60% Rebleeding rate
UPPER GI BLEEDINGEsophageal Varices: Predictors of severity • High Hepatic Gradient • >12 mmHg • Degree of Cirrhosis • (Child Classification ) • Size of Varices • Larger > smaller • Endoscopic Appearance • Cherry red spots • Red wale
UPPER GI BLEEDINGEsophageal Varices: Significance of hepatic gradient
UPPER GI BLEEDINGEsophageal Varices: Influence of endoscopic appearance
UPPER GI BLEEDINGEsophageal Varices: Influence of degree of Cirrhosis
UPPER GI BLEEDINGEsophageal Varices: Influence of degree of Cirrhosis A < 7 points B 7-9 points C >10 points
UPPER GI BLEEDINGEsophageal Varices: Relation of size to bleeding
UPPER GI BLEEDINGEsophageal Varices: Management Assessment / Resuscitation • Pharmacological Therapy • Somatostatin or Octreotide • Vassopressin and Nitroglycerine • Endoscopy for diagnosis and therapy • Variceal Banding • Sclerotherapy Balloon Temponade
UPPER GI BLEEDINGEsophageal Varices: Vassopressin • Splanchnic vasoconstriction and decrease portal blood flow • Controls bleeding in 50%. • High side effects profile with 50% develops chest pain while on treatment. • Nitroglycerin decreases CP but cause hypotension. • 0.2-0.4 U/min Infusion
UPPER GI BLEEDINGEsophageal Varices: Somatostatin and Octreotide • Decrease portal pressure and collateral blood flow. • Equivalent to sclerotherpy in controlling bleeding. • More effective than Vassopressin with less side effects. • Used as initial therapy
UPPER GI BLEEDINGEsophageal Varices: Endoscopic banding • Bleeding control in 90%. • Rebleeding rate reduced to 30%. • Comparing to sclerotherapy • Less rebleeding • Lower mortality • Less complications • Fewer treatment sessions
UPPER GI BLEEDINGEsophageal Varices: TIPS • Technical success in 90% • Control of bleeding in > 90% • Immediate procedural complications around 10%. • Late complications • Encephalopathy 20-30% • Heart failure 40%
