Endoscopic Management of Ulcer Bleeding Dr Redha Lajam, MD Consultant gastroenterologist UST Hospital
Outline • Epidemiology and natural history • Risk assessment and pre-endoscopic management • Endoscopic therapy • Post endoscopic management
Bleeding Peptic Ulcer-Epidemiology- • More than 300,000 hospital admissions annually in the US1 • Incidence: 103 cases/100,000 adults/year2 • Mortality: 5~14%3, unchanged for the past two decades, exclusively among elderly patients with significant co morbidities 1Yavorski RT et al. Am J Gastroenterol 1995; 90:568-73 2Longstreth GF. Am J Gastroenterol 1995; 90:206-10 3Rockall TA et al. BMJ 1995; 38:222-6
Bleeding Peptic Ulcer-Natural History- • Approximately 80-85% bleeding stops spontaneously • Remaining 15-20% recurrent or continuous bleeding • Re-bleeding increase mortality by 10 times
Pre-Endoscopic Resuscitation • Assess hemodynamic status • Tachycardia (pulse, ≥100 beats per minute) • Hypotension (systolic blood pressure, <100 mm Hg), • postural changes (an increase in the pulse of ≥20 beats per minute or a drop in systolic blood pressure of ≥20 mm Hg on standing) • Mucous membranes, neck veins, urine output • Obtain CBC, electrolytes, BUN/Cr, PT INR/ APTT, blood type, and cross-match
Pre-Endoscopic Resuscitation • Initiate resuscitation with crystalloid intravenous fluids with the use of large-bore IV-access catheters • PRBC • If tachycardia or hypotension is present • If the hemoglobin level is less than 10 g per deciliter.Patients who received transfusion within 12 h of presentation had a twofold increased rate of re-bleeding (OR 2.26; 95% CI 1.76–2.90) and a 28% increase in mortality (OR 1.28; 95% CI 0.94–1.74) compared to those not early transfused. • Oxygen • correction of coagulopathy Hearnshaw SA, Logan RF, Palmer KR, Card TR, Travis SP, Murphy MF.Aliment Pharmacol Ther. 2010 Jul;32(2):215-24.

Pharmacotherapy Prior to Endoscopy • Consider initiating treatment with an IV PPI (80-mg bolus dose plus continuous infusion at 8 mg/hr) while awaiting early endoscopy • down-staging of endoscopic lesions by stabilizing clot with decrease need for endoscopic therapy (19 % vs. 28% p value 0.007) • not have an effect on outcomes (mortality , re-bleeding , transfusion requirement ) • The cost- effectiveness remains controversial • No role for H2 blocker • Consider octeriotide infusion may be beneficial Lau JY, N Engl J Med. 2007 Apr 19;356(16):1631-40.
Risk assessment Clinical Predictors of Poor Outcomes • Older age (>60years) • Severe comorbidity • Active bleeding • Hypotension or shock • RBC transfusion6 unit • Inpatient bleeding • Severe coagulopathy Adler DG et al. Gastrointest Endosc 2004; 60:497-504
Risk-Stratification Tools for Upper Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage • The Rockall score : • Used clinical and endoscopic criteria • The scale ranges from 0 to 11 points, with higher scores indicating higher risk. Blatchford scores from 0 to 23, with higher scores indicating higher risk
Timing of endoscopy • Should be performed within 24 hours for high risk patients • Improve certain outcomes • the number of units of blood transfused • the length of the hospital stay • Treatment recommendations have focused on the first 72 hours after presentation and endoscopic evaluation and therapy, since this is the period when the risk of rebleeding is greatest (90 %)
Outcomes of total cases No difference in outcome between emergent vs. urgent endoscopy
Role of Endoscopy • Diagnosis : 90-95% sensitive at locating bleeding site • Prognosis : likelihood of persistent or recurrent bleeding can be predicted • Therapy : provide therapeutic options ( inject , burn ,clip )

Types of endoscopic therapy • Injection • Ablative • Mechanical • combination • Novel techniques
Endoscopic therapy injection • Reduce blood flow by temporary local tamponade • Vasoconstricting agents reduce blood flow -Adrenaline 1:10,000 -1:100,000 • Sclerosants • Ethanolamine • Polidocanol • Ethanol • Tissue adhesive • Histoacryl • Fibirin glue
Endoscopic therapy ablative • Contact ablative therapy by • Thermo coagulation heat probe • Electro coagulation BICAP, Gold probe • Non contact ablative argon plasma cougulation
Endoscopic therapy ablative • Coaptive coagulation compress vessel & cougulate 15-20 watts for 8-12 seconds for 4-6 pulses • Larger 10 French more effective than 7 French probes
Endoscopic therapy combination • Injection combined with thermo-coagulation therapy • Inject first 1:10,000 adrenaline • Can use combination probe • May inject and clip

Safety of Dual vs. Monotherapy *5 cases with injection plus thermal & 2 cases with double injection therapy
Summary of Endoscopic Therapy • Injection therapy less effectiveNo injection aloneADD SOMETHING ELSE • No significant clinical advantage for dual therapy over thermal or mechanical monotherapy (? active bleeder) • Single therapy?thermal or if applicable, mechanical therapy • Single therapy is safer than dual therapy Barkun A et al.

Limitation of endoscopic therapy • We can only treat what we see • Double or wide channel scope • NG tube lavage pre-endoscopy • Water pump/jet • External large suction device • Iv erythromycin
Iv erythromycin • Consider giving a single 250-mg IV dose of erythromycin 30 to 60 minutes before endoscopy • promote gastric motility and substantially improve visualization of the gastric mucosa on initial endoscopy. • not improve the diagnostic yield of endoscopy substantially or to improve the outcome We can only treat what we can see
Limitation of endoscopic therapy challenging lesions • Large ulcer defect more than 2cm • Visible vessel more than 2 mm • Inaccessible lesions • Challenging positions ( posterior wall stomach ,lesser curve , posterior bulbar wall) • Fibrotic base for hemoclip
Addition of a Second Endoscopic Treatment Following Injection: Two is better than one may be? • Meta-analysis of 16 studies: 1673 patients • Rebleeding 18.410.6% OR 0.53 (0.40~0.69) • Need for surgery 11.37.6% OR 0.64 (0.46~0.90) • Mortality 5.12.6% OR 0.51 (0.31~0.84) • Risk decreased regardless of which second procedure was applied • ACG guidelines not recommend routine second look Calvet X et al. Gastroenterology 2004; 126:441-50
Outcome of Endoscopic Management • Hemostasis>95% • Recurrent bleeding<15% • Death 6-8% (irrespective of any optimal endoscopic & medical treatment) Barkun A et al. Ann Intern Med 2003; 139:843-5, Cipolletta L et al. Endoscopy 2007; 39:7-10 Treat the patient and Not just the source of bleeding
