L19: GI Bleeding Flashcards
Def of Hematemsis
Def of Melena
Def of Hematochezia
Hematochezia infrequently occurs with massive β¦.. GI bleeding that is typically associated with hypotension.
Upper
Hematemesis and relena usually indicate β¦.. GI bleeding β¦β¦ to the suspensory ligament of the duodenum, also called the ligament of β¦..
Upper, proximal, Trietz
β¦β¦. is the most common cause of upper GI bleeding.
Peptic ulcer disease (PUD)
Hematochezia is most often associated with β¦.. Gl bleeding.
lower
Gastrointest nal bleeding indicates underlying pathology in either the upper or lower gastrointestinal (Gl) tract.
Diagnosis is nade by clinical history and physical exam, followed by upper and /or lower Gl endoscopy
The source of the bleeding can usually be identified and treated with endoscopy.
Incidence of UGIB
Risk Factors of UGIB
Incidence of LGIB
Risk Factors of LGIB
Most Common Causes of UGIB
The source of bleeding is not identified in up to β¦..
(10%- 15%) of patients.
Esophageal Causes of UGIB
Gastric Causes of UGIB
GAVE
Dieulofy Lesions
Angiodysplasia
Duedenal Causes of UGIB
Diverticular Causes of LGIB

Patients with mild or occult bleeding may β¦..
not have significant findings.
Genral Examination in GI Bleeding
The approach to evaluating patients with GI bleeding β¦β¦.. and whether the patient is able to undergo endoscopic evaluation.
depends on its severity
Rectal Examination in GI Bleeding
Liver Examination in GI Bleeding
Diagnosis and management are often approached concurrently.

Interventions for GI Bleeding after Resuscitation
- For Hemodynamically Stable (Suspected LGIB)
Most patients with β¦β¦. require hospitalization for management and to ensure the patient is stable.
UGIB
β¦β¦ may be managed as an outpatient in patients at low risk of adverse outcomes.
