        2. Esophageal Varices
        3. Esophagitis
    2. Lower GI Bleeding evaluation
      1. See Lower GI Bleed
      2. See Colonoscopy in GI Bleeding
      3. Indication
        1. No Hematemesis or nasogastric lavage/aspirate with bile but no blood
        2. Bright Red Blood Per Rectum
      4. Common Causes
        1. Diverticular Bleeding
        2. Arteriovenous malformations
        3. Colon Polyps or Colorectal Cancer
  8. Labs
    1. Complete Blood Count
      1. Baseline Hemoglobin (trails bleeding by 24 hours)
    2. Blood Type and Cross-match
    3. Coagulation Factors
      1. Prothrombin Time
      2. Platelet Count
  9. Diagnostics
    1. Electrocardiogram
      1. Monitor for cardiac ischemia
  10. 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 FluidResuscitation
        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
          1. Endotracheal Intubation Preoxygenation is key
            1. Minimal reserve due to acute blood loss
    2. Intensive Care Unit admission indications
      1. Significant bleeding
      2. Hemodynamically unstable
    3. 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
    4. Transfusion platelet indications
      1. Platelet Count <50,000/mm3
      2. Aspirin or NSAID related GI Bleeding (no evidence)
      3. Clopidogrel (Plavix) use
      4. Cirrhosis (No evidence)
    5. Other measures in exsanguinating Hemorrhage
      1. Tranexamic Acid
  11. 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
  12. Complications
    1. Cardiac ischemia
    2. Acute Renal Failure
    3. Acute Respiratory Distress Syndrome (ARDS)

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.

Melena (C0025222)

Definition (MSHCZE) Dehtovitě černá stolice obsahující natrávenou krev. Příznak krvácení do horní části trávicí trubice (během další pasáže dochází k natrávení a k chemickým reakcím v důsledku působení střevních bakterií). Příčinou může být peptický vřed či erozivní gastritida (často podmíněná nesteroidními antirevmatiky, vč. aspirinu), nádory, Malloryho-Weissův syndrom, jícnové varixy, koagulopatie aj. Některé stavy mohou současně způsobit hematemezi. Meléna je indikací k endoskopii, silné krvácení může vést k hypovolemii. Černé zbarvení stolice může být způsobeno i složením potravy či některými léky (železo, adsorpční uhlí). (cit. Velký lékařský slovník online, 2012 http://lekarske.slovniky.cz/ )
