II. Definitions

  1. Overt Gastrointestinal Bleeding
    1. Visible Gastrointestinal Bleeding (e.g. Hematemesis, Hematochezia)
  2. Obscure Gastrointestinal Bleeding
    1. Recurrent Gastrointestinal Bleeding without a source identified despite diagnostic evaluation
    2. Most commonly associated with Small Intestinal Bleeding
  3. Occult Gastrointestinal Bleeding
    1. Gastrointestinal Bleeding not visible on stool examination
    2. Presents with occult occult blood test positive (e.g. guiaic stool testing or FIT Testing) or Iron Deficiency Anemia
  4. Hematochezia (Bright Red Blood Per Rectum)
    1. Grossly bloody or dark red stool that usually correlates with Lower GI Bleeding
    2. Differentiate from Maroon Stool which is associated with brisk Upper Gastrointestinal Bleeding
  5. Melana (Black Stool)
    1. Black stool is typically associated with Upper GI Bleeding, with heavier bleeding suggested by tarry black stool
    2. Lower GI Bleeding is responsible for one third of black stool cases

IX. Diagnostics

  1. Electrocardiogram
    1. Monitor for cardiac ischemia
  2. Imaging
    1. See Upper GI Bleed and Lower GI Bleed for specific protocols
    2. See CT Angiography in Gastrointestinal Bleeding

X. Management: Acute

  1. ABC Management
    1. Oxygen
    2. Intravenous Access
      1. Two large bore IV (14-16 gauge)
      2. Start with Isotonic Saline (NS or LR)
    3. Intravenous Fluid Resuscitation
      1. Massive GI Bleed
        1. See Massive Hemorrhage
        2. Replace blood with blood
        3. Start with universal donor blood (O- in premenopausal women, O+ in men)
        4. Transfuse type specific blood when available
        5. Replace 1 unit plasma per unit pRBC and 1 unit apheresis Platelets for every 8 units pRBC
      2. Non-massive GI Bleed
        1. Crystalloid 10 cc/kg boluses until stable
        2. Reassess after 3 boluses (30 cc/kg)
        3. Consider transfusion for unstable after 3 boluses
    4. Endotracheal Intubation
      1. Indications
        1. Altered Mental Status
        2. Massive Upper GI Bleeding
          1. Controls airway to prevent aspiration
          2. Confirms source (via orogastric or Nasogastric Tube)
      2. Technique (minimize aspiration risk)
        1. Nasogastric Tube to empty Stomach contents
          1. Esophageal Varices are not a contraindication
        2. Consider Metoclopramide (Reglan) to increase LES pressure
        3. Elevate head of bed to 45 degrees
        4. Endotracheal Intubation Preoxygenation is key
          1. Minimal reserve due to acute blood loss
        5. Rapid Sequence Intubation (RSI)
          1. Succinylcholine raises LES pressure (may lower aspiration risk)
        6. Optimize chances for first pass success
          1. If BVM needed between attempts, use slow, gentle breaths (10 per minute)
        7. Vomiting
          1. Place patient in trendelenberg position to reduce aspiration risk
          2. Suction via Endotracheal Tube with meconium aspirator
      3. References
        1. Intubating the Critical GI Bleeder (Scott Weingart, MD)
          1. https://emcrit.org/emcrit/intubating-gi-bleeds/
  2. Anticoagulation and Antiplatelet Management
    1. Aspirin
      1. Stopping Aspirin has little impact on acute Gastrointestinal Bleeding
        1. Platelet inhibition effects last at least 3 days
      2. Stopping Aspirin in secondary prevention (e.g. known coronary disease) risks cardiovascular complications
        1. However, stopping Aspirin in primary prevention is low risk (since Aspirin has low efficacy in these cases)
    2. P2Y Receptor Antagonist (e.g. Clopidogrel)
      1. For patients on dual antiplatelet agents, stopping P2Y agent may have little effect on acute bleeding risk
      2. Stopping P2Y Inhibitor for <=4 days in patients on dual antiplatelet agents appears to have minimal effect in s/p stent
        1. However stopping >10 days risks stent thrombosis
    3. Direct Oral Anticoagulants (e.g. Apixaban)
      1. Prothrombin Complex Concentrates or PCC4 (unclear if benefit)
      2. Andexanet Alfa or Andexxa for Apixaban or Rivaroxaban use (unclear if benefit)
    4. Dabigatran (Pradaxa)
      1. Idarucizumab (Praxbind) does not appear to reduce GI Bleeding or mortality
    5. Warfarin (Coumadin)
      1. Prothrombin Complex Concentrates or PCC4 (may have benefit, but at least 25% continue to bleed)
      2. Fresh Frozen Plasma has less evidence of benefit than PCC4
    6. References

  3. Intensive Care Unit admission indications
    1. Significant bleeding
    2. Hemodynamically unstable
  4. Transfusion Packed Red Blood Cells
    1. Indications
      1. Hemoglobin 8 g/dl or Hematocrit 25%
      2. Brisk active bleeding (replace blood with blood)
      3. Cardiopulmonary symptoms
      4. Cardiopulmonary comorbidity
    2. Do not base transfusion in acute bleeding on labs
      1. Hemoglobin And Hematocrit lag bleeding by 24 hours
      2. Active unstable bleeding requires Blood Products
      3. Base transfusion on Hemodynamic status
      4. Base on response to crystalloid (after 30 cc/kg)
      5. In Massive Hemorrhage, replace blood with blood as soon as universal donor blood available
        1. Replace 1 unit plasma per unit pRBC
        2. Replace 1 unit apheresis Platelets for every 8 units pRBC
    3. Once stabilized blood count may direct transfusion
      1. Transfuse for Hemoglobin 7 g/dl (Hematocrit 25%)
      2. Maintain Hemoglobin At 9 g/dl after transfusion
      3. Expect 1 g/dl Hemoglobin increase/unit transfused
      4. Expect 3% Hematocrit increase/unit transfused
      5. Goal is not a specific Blood Pressure, but rather improved mental status and Urine Output
    4. In non-exsanguinating Upper GI Hemorrhage
      1. Delaying transfusion until Hemoglobin <7.0 is associated with better outcomes
      2. Restrictive transfusion strategy had better outcomes regardless of cause (Peptic Ulcer or Cirrhosis)
      3. Villaneuva (2013) N Engl J Med 368(1): 11-21 [PubMed]
    5. Replace Coagulation Factors
      1. Consider Prothrombin Complex Concentrate (PCC 4) as an alternative to FFP
      2. Fresh Frozen Plasma (FFP) indications
        1. Exsanguinating Hemorrhage (transfuse RBC and FFP in 1:1 ratio)
        2. INR (Prothrombin Time) prolonged >1.5 times normal
          1. INR may be remarkably normal despite severe Coagulopathy (e.g. Cirrhosis)
      3. DDAVP
        1. Consider for Massive Hemorrhage in Renal Failure
  5. Transfusion Platelet indications
    1. Platelet Count <50,000/mm3
    2. Clopidogrel (Plavix) use
    3. Cirrhosis (No evidence)
    4. Aspirin or NSAID related GI Bleeding is NOT recommended as an indication for Platelet Transfusion
      1. No evidence for Platelet Transfusion and may cause harm
  6. Other measures in exsanguinating Hemorrhage
    1. Tranexamic Acid

XI. Management: Based on Bleeding site

  1. Upper GI Bleed
    1. See Upper GI Bleeding
    2. If unclear source, assume Upper GI Bleeding, especially if patient is unstable
      1. Upper GI Bleeds cause >75% of GI Bleeds and have a much higher mortality, worse prognosis
    3. In massive GI Bleeding or Unstable Patient
      1. Focus on possible Peptic Ulcer and Esophageal Varices as most likely source
  2. Lower GI Bleed
    1. See Lower GI Bleeding
    2. Relatively low mortality of 4% compared with Upper GI Bleed

Ontology: Gastrointestinal Hemorrhage (C0017181)

Definition (MSHCZE) Krvácení do některé části GASTROINTESTINÁLNÍHO TRAKTU (od EZOFÁGU po REKTUM).
Definition (MEDLINEPLUS)

Your digestive or gastrointestinal (GI) tract includes the esophagus, stomach, small intestine, large intestine or colon, rectum, and anus. Bleeding can come from any of these areas. The amount of bleeding can be so small that only a lab test can find it.

Signs of bleeding in the digestive tract depend where it is and how much bleeding there is.

Signs of bleeding in the upper digestive tract include

  • Bright red blood in vomit
  • Vomit that looks like coffee grounds
  • Black or tarry stool
  • Dark blood mixed with stool

Signs of bleeding in the lower digestive tract include

  • Black or tarry stool
  • Dark blood mixed with stool
  • Stool mixed or coated with bright red blood

GI bleeding is not a disease, but a symptom of a disease. There are many possible causes of GI bleeding, including hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, tears or inflammation in the esophagus, diverticulosis and diverticulitis, ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease, colonic polyps, or cancer in the colon, stomach or esophagus.

The test used most often to look for the cause of GI bleeding is called endoscopy. It uses a flexible instrument inserted through the mouth or rectum to view the inside of the GI tract. A type of endoscopy called colonoscopy looks at the large intestine.
